Book I · The Daughter of Convergence
Fifty years after gods sealed the Titans, peace is a fragile echo.
Old powers stir beneath the mountains, and the whispers of prophecy return.
In a world where beasts still dream of their masters, a new legend begins — the daughter of convergence.
In the smouldering ruins of Thiros, prophecy awakens — and with it, Maia's bond to the wild. Tied by fate to a blade forged in blood, she journeys with Thalos, Kaion, Nico, and the two-headed hound Dusmos to uncover the truth of Aetherion — the sword that could end her world, or save it.
Fifty years after the Titanfall, peace thins to ash. Maia, an orphan with a gift that draws beasts, finds herself caught between prophecy and deception. When the god Dolios spins his web of lies, fate binds her to Thalos, Kaion, Nico, and the two-headed hound Dusmos.
Together, they uncover Aetherion, a blade completed in blood and burdened with divine purpose. As gods clash and ancient realms tremble, Maia must face the truth behind her bond and the cost of wielding a power that was never meant for mortals.
The line between saviour and destroyer blurs, and one choice will decide whether the world is Aetherion or consumed by ruin.
A coming-of-age story set amid divine conflict — exploring found family, grief, loyalty, deception, and the weight of prophecy.
