The Fractured Blade
The world was broken long before the Rupture tore the sky apart and unleashed its shadows. Kael Moren, a warrior gifted with the rare ability to wield both magic and steel, once believed in the Order of the Veil—a brotherhood sworn to protect the balance of the world. But the Order is gone, betrayed from within, and the balance shattered.
Now, Kael is a reluctant protector to a handful of survivors, haunted by a truth he cannot ignore: the cataclysm that destroyed his home was no accident. The Rupture was the Order's desperate attempt to save a dying world, a choice that unleashed darkness far beyond their control. Among the chaos stands Eren, Kael’s former friend and fellow warrior, now a man twisted by the shadows he once fought against. Eren’s plans are as dangerous as they are mysterious, and Kael must face the possibility that his old friend may hold the key to understanding the Rupture—and stopping it.
With his cursed sword Veyrune draining his strength and the weight of broken trust heavy on his shoulders, Kael leads his group of survivors toward Veyland, a city rumored to hold remnants of the Order’s forgotten knowledge. But each step closer to the truth reveals a darker reality: the world may not be worth saving, and the shadows consuming it may be only the beginning.
Caught between loyalty to a broken past and the harsh truths of an uncertain future, Kael must decide whether redemption is possible—or if the only way to end the cycle of destruction is to become what he fears most.
