That is, until a mysterious stranger enters the village, triggering a chain of events that awakens something deep within Calen. With no training and no purpose, Calen’s life takes a dramatic turn when he discovers a latent talent for magic and combat, a power that seems to have always been a part of him.

Together, they forge a fragile alliance, each of them scarred by the brutality of the world around them. As Calen slowly grows in strength and wisdom, he must learn to lead a ragtag group of survivors and defend against the encroaching forces of an empire bent on domination. But the true battle lies not just in the war against outside enemies, but in overcoming the darkness within, as Calen struggles to understand the power he now wields—and whether it will corrupt or save him. The Village Ascends is a tale of survival, redemption, and the rise of an unlikely hero. In a world where trust is a rare commodity, can one broken man gather the strength to lead, and spark a rebellion that will change everything?
