Shadowborn Sovereign
In a world where magic defines power and the strong dominate, Zephyr Kaelstrom is a name whispered in fear and awe. Once the heir to a prestigious mage lineage, his family was betrayed and annihilated by the corrupt Arcane Council. Left for dead, Zephyr forged himself into a shadow-wielding rogue, mastering forbidden magic and honing his mind into a weapon sharper than any blade.
Now, his path leads to the Grand Magus Tournament, a legendary competition where the strongest mages vie for the ultimate prize—the Ebon Crown, an artifact that grants its wielder dominion over time and fate. But for Zephyr, the tournament is more than a test of skill; it’s his chance for revenge, to dismantle the Arcane Council from within, and to uncover the secrets of his family’s destruction.
As Zephyr battles through trials of wit, magic, and might, he crosses paths with Aria Vale, a fiery battle-mage fighting for her people’s survival. Despite their rivalry, an uneasy alliance forms as they face conspiracies, ancient beasts, and rival mages who would stop at nothing to claim the crown.
In a world of dazzling magic and deadly betrayal, where even the shadows have secrets, Zephyr must outwit his enemies, conquer the tournament, and decide whether his cold vengeance is worth losing what remains of his humanity.
When the shadows rise, the sovereign will awaken.
