The Legend of the Seven Fates… There once was an ancient library filled with all the knowledge in the world. The keepers of that library were the fates.       The fates were named Regalia, Clara, Melodie, Amara, Mia, Desirae, and Gailia. The fates were tasked with knitting scarves for the destiny of all mortals with plain material like wool, cotton, and yarn. One day the fates get an anonymous gift and the youngest fate, Gailia opens it.       Since Gailia is a fabled fate, fearless and immortal, she pulls on the string of the glowing box without caring to read the letter that was sent along with it. Gailia sees a glittering purple silk laying in the box and quickly stops knitting her boring destinies to make her new masterpiece.       As Gailia knits her new scarf Desirae, the sixth fate, takes note and decides she wants a masterpiece too. So Desirae stops knitting her plain cotton destiny and chooses a sparkling sapphire silk instead.      Mia, the fifth fate, walks by while knitting her almost finished yarn scarf and is drawn to a fiery looking carnelian. Mia sits down next to her two sisters and starts to finish this nearly finished scarf with the new and energetic carnelian.      But the fourth fate, Amara, is tired of not getting enough attention as the middle most fate. So Amara plans to knit her next mortal destiny as well as she can manage with a strong deep black diamond silk.       Melodie, the third fate, gasps at her sister’s neglect in knitting mortal destinies and grabs a deep emerald silk to show her older sisters. But the power in the silk overwhelms her and she instead collapses on the ground. Not knowing what else to do she skillfully knits a complex and delicate pattern into her newly acquired powerful jade silk.      Clara, the sixth fate, walks by and notices her sisters knitting something beautiful with a strange new material. Clara knows she’s never seen anything like these materials so she shouts for her eldest sister. Regalia, the oldest, knows what has happened and instantly goes over towards her younger siblings.       Regalia hopes that she can make it in time to stop Clara from falling into this trap as well. But as Regalia bursts into the library her skin turns pale. All of her younger siblings are knitting part of their lives into mortal destinies.  Even Clara is standing a few feet in front of Regalia knitting a destiny out of shining gold and silver. Regalia nods because her sisters have already chosen their paths.      Regalia wakes her sisters and picks up a dull and colorless grey silk that pulses with raw potential. The sisters know their mistake and follow Regalia as they knit a prophecy over top of the silks.       The seven fates knit a faith-filled prophecy out of the stable earthly silk and connect this to a place they call The Tower of Destiny. They write down that one day the chosen will unseal the library of knowledge at the top of The Tower.      They can only hope that whoever does this will be kind enough to revive them so that they can continue knitting mortals in order to save the world. Though as the sisters take their last breath before slumber that can’t help but have faith.

In a world governed by six elemental powers, where no one can wield more than two without succumbing to destruction, balance has been the key to survival. But balance is fragile, and chaos is rising. Among the seven ancient families who once protected the world, a prophecy whispers of a Chosen One, a child born with the potential to wield all six powers. Yet this prophecy also brings a shadow—a fear that such power could either save the world or destroy it. The youngest heir of the seven families, a ten-year-old boy, lives unaware of his destiny. Like his six friends, he believes he can wield only two powers, unaware that his extraordinary spiritual strength has already begun to unlock something far greater. His parents and elders, haunted by the prophecy, recognize his unique gift—a bloodline so strong that it could awaken powers beyond comprehension. Their awe is matched by their fear: his potential could make him a savior, or the very force that plunges the world into chaos.

The youngest, still unaware of his true potential, discovers the truth of his lineage and the prophecy that foretells his role as the Chosen One. But the journey ahead is fraught with peril. His ability to wield all six powers defies the natural order, and his spiritual strength makes him a target for those who would manipulate him—or destroy him. Guided by his six companions—four boys and three girls, each carrying their own family’s legacy—the Chosen One must navigate a world on the brink of collapse, uncover the secrets of his powers, and face the terrifying truth of his destiny. Will he restore balance, or will his existence bring the chaos he was born to prevent? In a tale of friendship, sacrifice, and the burden of unimaginable power, The Legacy of Seven explores the fine line between savior and destroyer, and the choices that define a hero.
