Synopsis for The Lost City Eldarath In a world where magic and war intertwine, young scholar Alaric stumbles upon a forbidden book that whispers of Eldarath, a lost city brimming with ancient power. Ignoring the warnings of Seraphine, a mysterious witch who claims Eldarath is cursed, Alaric embarks on a perilous journey across Europe to uncover the city’s secrets. His quest draws the attention of the Guild of Shadows, a powerful order of wizards who have long sought Eldarath’s magic to tip the balance in the ongoing war between the supernatural and the mundane. But as Alaric pieces together the fragments of an ancient map, he realizes he is not the only one seeking Eldarath. Dark forces—rogue witches, treacherous warlocks, and a forgotten prophecy—loom over him at every turn. As Alaric and Seraphine navigate cursed forests, enchanted ruins, and betrayals that threaten to tear them apart, they uncover a devastating truth: Eldarath’s power is both salvation and ruin, capable of reshaping the world—or ending it. When the city’s long-slumbering inhabitants awaken, alliances are shattered, and a final battle for Eldarath’s fate begins. Torn between destiny and free will, Alaric must make an impossible choice. Will he claim Eldarath’s legacy and wield its magic, or will he sacrifice everything to prevent the chaos it could unleash? A tale of power, betrayal, and fate, The Lost City Eldarath is an epic fantasy where the line between hero and villain blurs, and the cost of magic is higher than anyone ever imagined.
