Synopsis: In a world shielded by the mystical Lystran Shroud, Princess Salome’s life is bound by tradition and the weight of her father’s authority. But when Nahor’s protective barrier begins to falter, whispers of corrupted lands and deadly creatures breaching its edges reach the court. Salome’s relentless curiosity drives her to seek the truth, even as her questions spark fear among those who cling to the Shroud’s fading strength.
“Fear is the first crack, Salome. It weakens resolve. It spreads faster than any corruption.” Her father’s warning lingers, but Salome cannot ignore the danger looming beyond their walls. Guided by a Nahoran scout and the enigmatic Prince Nmzar of Perga, she faces a stark choice: accept the Shroud’s inevitable collapse or challenge its legacy and risk everything to forge a new path.
With the safety of Nahor hanging by a thread, Salome’s journey will test the limits of loyalty, love, and the cost of courage in a world teetering on the brink of ruin.
