Echoes from the Depths
Helena never dreamed of glory. Born in the womb of Irisis, where the lower castes wear down under the weight of an unforgiving system, she learned early that hope is a dangerous luxury. The promise of ascension through the selective process is a cruel farce.
But when her name appears on the list of selected candidates, Helena discovers that some legends hold more truth than she ever imagined. In the brutal tests—mixing intellect, strength, and almost inhuman endurance—she begins to realize that the world is not what it seems. Some secrets, forgotten and hidden by the elites, are the key to a mystery that sustains the power of the higher castes at the expense of the lower ones.
As she uncovers the truth, Helena finds herself trapped in a web of manipulation, betrayals, and an unexpected romance.
Amid the chaos, Helena realizes that her destiny is not just to survive, but to uncover the truths in a world built on lies.
Between runes, blood, and secrets, Helena will have to decide: will she be the weapon of the system or its ruin?
