The Shattered Sky
In a world ravaged by ancient wars and forgotten magic, the village of Hollowstone is little more than a dying husk, hidden beneath a constant shroud of ash and despair. Tavian, a weak and scorned orphan, has spent his entire life trying to survive in the shadows, unnoticed by those around him. But when he stumbles upon a mysterious shard in the ruins near the village, everything changes.
The shard pulses with an unknown power, one that begins to awaken something deep within Tavian—an energy he cannot explain and barely control. As whispers of long-lost magic resurface, so too do the forces that seek to use that power for their own dark purposes. Tavian is drawn into a conflict far beyond his understanding, pursued by shadowy enemies and haunted by visions of destruction that follow him wherever he goes.
Guided by an enigmatic mentor and joined by an unlikely band of allies, Tavian embarks on a journey to uncover the truth about the shard and the growing power inside him. Along the way, he must navigate a world of dangerous magic, treachery, and temptation, as dark forces rise and threaten to tear apart the fragile peace of his world.
But power always comes with a price. As Tavian’s strength grows, so too does the burden of responsibility—and the fear that his newfound abilities may lead him down a path of destruction. The dark figure haunting his dreams offers him a choice: embrace the unchecked force within him, or be consumed by it.
Tavian must decide whether to wield his power for good or give in to the temptations of absolute strength. The fate of not just Hollowstone, but the world itself, may rest on the choices he makes. In the end, Tavian will learn that true power is not found in strength alone, but in mastering the fear and darkness within.
The Shattered Sky is a gripping fantasy tale of a young boy’s rise from weakness to greatness, where the line between hero and villain blurs, and the cost of power may be more than Tavian is willing to pay.
