The Unspoken Spell

Di jantung kerajaan Eldoria yang megah, di mana menara-menara batu menjulang anggun seolah menggapai surga dan sihir mengalir dalam setiap napas kehidupan, lahirlah seorang pemuda bernama Kael. Ia bukan seorang pangeran berdarah biru, bukan pula ksatria gagah perkasa dengan warisan pedang legendaris. Kael hanyalah seorang rakyat jelata, dibesarkan di antara gemerisik daun-daun hutan Whisperwood dan aroma tanah basah setelah hujan. Tangannya lebih akrab dengan bilah sabit untuk memanen gandum daripada gagang pedang, dan impiannya tidak melampaui cukup remah roti untuk hari esok. Namun, di balik mata birunya yang jernih tersimpan percikan takdir yang belum terungkap, sebuah kekuatan yang bersembunyi di bawah permukaan, menunggu momen untuk meledak. Ia sering kali merasa tertarik pada reruntuhan kuno di pinggiran desanya, tempat di mana rumor sihir terlarang berbisik di antara bebatuan yang ditumbuhi lumut. Tanpa ia sadari, benang-benang takdir mulai terjalin, bukan hanya untuk menghubungkannya dengan rahasia Eldoria yang terkubur, tetapi juga dengan seseorang yang ditakdirkan untuk berdiri di puncak kekuasaan, seseorang yang hatinya akan terpaut pada pemuda biasa ini. Ketika bayangan kegelapan mulai menyelimuti Eldoria, mengancam untuk menelan cahaya sihir dan cinta, Kael akan menemukan bahwa kekuatannya bukanlah pada pedang atau gelar, melainkan pada keberanian hatinya dan sihir yang mengalir dalam darahnya, yang akan membawanya ke dalam pusaran intrik kerajaan, bahaya, dan sebuah romansa yang melampaui batasan kelas dan takdir. Akankah seorang rakyat jelata sepertinya mampu mengubah jalannya sejarah dan mengklaim cintanya di dunia yang diperintah oleh sihir dan darah bangsawan?
