The Echo Accord
In the fractured aftermath of the First Convergence—when portals tore through reality and ancient magic returned to Earth—six global magical Orders re-emerged to seize control of the future. Amid geopolitics, legacy powers, and the rise of echo-based warfare, a controversial seventh faction stirs: the Hybrids, engineered from stolen bloodlines and unstable hope.
At the center of it all is Kai “Soulfire” Mercer, a hybrid soldier who was never awakened by the Echo—he was activated. Sent to Anatolia's most unstable academy, he’s joined by five other cadets, each from a legacy Order, in an experimental squad known as The First Chorus.
They are flawed. Incomplete. And unlike anything the world has seen.
- Nandi “Echo Song” Maseko, whose stutter shatters spells and expectations.
- Amara Khalil al-Rashid, a Dune-Inker rewriting patriarchal traditions with every blazing sigil.
- Izel “Shardsight” Itzcuintli, a Glyphseer haunted by visions not yet lived.
- Jian “Irontongue” Li, a Thoughtshaper torn between perfection and suppressed emotion.
- Sarika “Rainborn” Moyo, a Rainmother whose storms rise and fall with her grief.
When a trial awakens an ancient portal beneath their academy, spectral echoes and fractured artifacts begin to stir. As the First Chorus fractures and reforms, they must navigate secret histories, ideological warfare, and relics too powerful to remain untouched.
But something else is listening.
Something born between frequencies.
And it remembers their names.
The Echo Accord is a speculative coming-of-age epic blending metaphysical magic, geopolitical intrigue, and deeply human struggle. At its core, it's about imperfect young warriors trying to harmonize in a world built on dissonance—and whether it’s possible to write your own resonance when fate insists on repeating the past.
