In a world where cities float above the earth and ancient beasts roam the land, truth has long since been buried beneath the clouds… Seventeen-year-old Aryan has lived his entire life in a cursed land city — a crumbling outpost surrounded by monsters with fangs like swords and demons with human faces. His mother, a low-tier Light wielder, died from a mysterious illness when he was seven. His father? Vanished in a classified government mission years earlier, investigating the very secrets the world refuses to speak of — the beasts, the demons… and the floating cities themselves. No one knows Aryan exists — not the ruling government, not the elite nobles who live high above in shining cities suspended 1000 feet in the sky, not even the assassin guilds and rebel warlords fighting for scraps of power on the surface. But Aryan is about to shatter their silence. Hidden within this fractured world lies a shattered ancient artifact — a mysterious cube once powerful enough to hold the balance between land, sky, and beyond. Split into four fragments, each held in secret corners of the world — from the heavenly Sky Government cities to the beast-infested wilds — its true purpose is unknown… but it calls to Aryan. As he journeys across deadly lands aboard flying warships, hunted by assassins, tracked by beasts, and haunted by fragments of his parents’ forgotten legacies, Aryan begins to uncover a terrifying truth: The cities were never meant to float... The beasts were never meant to exist... And he was never meant to survive. But fate doesn’t care what the world intended. Aryan is coming — and he’s not just looking for answers. He’s looking to break the sky open.

Synopsis: The Order of Shadows and the Legacy of the Shadow Child In the somber kingdom of Lysareth, threatened by a blight of wilting and a deadly insomnia known as "The Unveiling," a ten-year-old orphan named Etan Luwin struggles to find his place. Abandoned at the enigmatic Shadow Gate with a mysterious mark on his left palm, Etan was recruited by the cold and strict Order of Shadows, a brotherhood of spy-mages who view him as a mere tool for his innate abilities to manipulate shadows. Under the tutelage of Master Alaric, Etan masters stealth, the whispers of darkness, and illusions, though each use of his powers brings him closer to the paranoia of the "Echo of the Dark Night," the whispers of the minor demons imprisoned within his mark. Etan's life takes a dark turn when, accidentally, his mark reacts to an ancient parchment, revealing a symbol identical to his own and a chilling connection to the Draining Machine, a legendary artifact threatening to consume the kingdom's life force. This machine is the centerpiece of Veylan Mordrake's plan, the Archon of Shadows, a noble demon obsessed with resurrecting his deceased wife, Elandra, by breaking ancient pacts that maintain the balance between life and death. Now, Etan, the "Shadow Child," must infiltrate Nymorgath, the twisted underground citadel of the Shadow Court, to steal the fragments of the "Umbral Heart" –the Draining Machine's blueprints– guarded by treacherous heroes. Only by mastering his own darkness and the dangerous whispers of his mark can Etan unravel the legacy of his abandonment and prevent Lysareth from being consumed, left... abandoned to death.
