From the very beginning, the world whispered the same cruel truth: the weak do not last in Eldria. And Leonia Bellius was born with that fate etched into her skin—a fragile and cursed creature. But after fourteen years of silence, sweat, and scars, she became the most promising candidate for the legendary Order of the Silver Heralds. The day of her glory seemed certain: the Graduation Ceremony. However, fate—always treacherous with the fearless—turned what should have been a moment of triumph into one of humiliation. Before all her peers from the Archduchy of Montreal, Leonia was failed. No glory. No explanation. Only the bitter taste of disgrace and the satisfied gazes of those who relished her downfall. Driven by wounded pride and the fury of someone denied their rightful place, Leonia challenged Archduke Monteiro… and was met with a death sentence. But as if the gods were still toying with her ambitions, a new opportunity was thrown at her feet: to infiltrate the Order of the Lord of the Underworld, in Arion, and she might claim the position she so desperately sought. Two years to prove she can return. That she can rewrite her name. That she can, at last, become a Herald. But the forest is not made only of trees—it is made of monsters. And the greatest of them may walk beside her, with an arrogant smile and cruel eyes. To survive, Leonia will have to face not only the dangers of Arion, but also the darkest parts of mankind. For honor and for glory.

Silent Winter is a story of broken connections, unspoken feelings, and the fragile, aching beauty of a second chance — set in a season where nothing blooms, yet everything begins again.

This is a world where music isn’t just sound, it’s power. The gods created humans and blessed them with energy called Vibes. With it, they could harness the power of music, shape it, bend it. That gift earned them the name “The Blessed.” Sounds beautiful, right? Like some fairytale? Yeah... no. This world’s messed up. While the gods were out creating humans, the demons were doing their own thing in the shadows. They made people too. Gave them Vibes... but at a cost. The demons fed off them, stealing their life little by little. Stealing from the power that they gave them. The people they created didn’t live long. So the world called them “The Cursed.” Naturally, the Blessed hated the Cursed. And since the Blessed outnumbered them, the Cursed were pushed to the edge, isolated, bullied. Lyra was born into one of those cursed bloodlines. But unlike her family, who spent their lives trying to break the curse, Lyra didn’t want to run from it. She wanted to use it. Twist it. Make it her weapon. Together with her crew of cursed misfits, she’s fighting to survive in a world that was never meant for them. They’ve been dealt a bad hand. Now they’re flipping the table.
