Beneath A Broken Sky
In the year 1300 A.D., in Eastern Europe, there lies a quiet village, far removed from the ambitions of kings and conquerors. Nestled between dense forests, it exists in a peaceful bubble, largely forgotten by the outside world. Here, we meet Asiel Vaughn, a sixteen-year-old boy who finds himself at a crossroads between the carefree days of youth and the heavy weight of a war-torn reality. His life is filled with simple pleasures: daily chores, quiet training sessions, playful moments with his younger sister, and the looming presence of his father’s legacy a former soldier named Castiel Vaughn, who once traversed the blood-soaked paths of empires.
But tranquility is a fleeting thing.
When an unexpected invasion disrupts their lives, Asiel is thrust into the harsh reality of being a prisoner of war, thrown into a brutal world where might makes right and the strong dictate the fate of the weak. Armed with only a few scraps of combat skills and the distant teachings of his father, Asiel must navigate the treacherous landscape, find a way to escape, and ultimately decide who he wants to be in a world drenched in blood.
Will he seek vengeance? Or will he carve out his own destiny?
