Through the Veil of Whispers
Minjae Park never believed in destiny. A museum researcher in Seoul, he lived for logic, history, and quiet resolve. But when an uncatalogued disc pulls him through space and time into the mystical realm of Eldrath, he finds himself in a kingdom of ancient magic, courtly politics, and prophecies that whisper of ruin and rebirth.
Marked as the one "born beyond the Veil," Minjae is met with suspicion and fear by a court that views him as a threat. With no magic of his own and only his sharp mind and defiant spirit to rely on, he is pulled into a deadly game of prophecy and power. Among those watching him closely is Prince Eryndor, a cold, darkly magnetic figure who is bound to the kingdom’s fate and to Minjae’s.
As tensions rise, ancient sigils awaken, visions bleed into reality, and a forbidden connection begins to grow between the fierce mortal and the crown prince sworn to protect the realm. But shadows stir in the court, and not all who wear smiles can be trusted especially Prince Zaryth, the charming envoy from Kaelith who may hold a disc of his own…and dangerous secrets tied to Minjae's past and future.
Caught in a slow-burning triangle of desire, prophecy, and betrayal, Minjae must uncover the truth behind the relics, survive the court’s treachery, and decide if he will walk away or burn with the crown he never wanted to wear.
