“You don't deserve this throne. Your birth was nothing more than a mistake by my late husband, so don't think any more of yourself. But if you still want to be King, then go into the territories and kingdoms outside Griffindale and build your army of followers and allies from scratch. Whenever you feel like you have amassed a huge following enough to seize the throne away from me, then you can come back to fight for it. But from now on, you are on exile.” “The throne belongs to me, Stepmother. Nevertheless, I will do as you ask. But rest assured, for what you've done, I will return—not just for my throne, but also for your head.” “While the Queen fumed with rage in her private chamber, Cyrus emerged from her quarters wearing a satisfied grin, knowing his destiny was now set in stone. He would one day become king, no matter what.” -------- This is my first novel on the platform, so my pacing and world-building aren't the best, but it gets better with time. The story is set in a medieval world, somewhere in an alternate version of ancient Europe. At first the tone focuses more on war and basic politics, but as the story progresses, there will be more magic/fantasy elements added - like dragons, witches and fables. If you enjoy the work, please consider supporting it in any way you can. Any means of support goes a long way for me and is duly appreciated. Have Fun!!!

Kael Dravon is an eighteen year old orphan living on the outskirts of Draven's Hollow, a small town built over ruins no one will explain. He has no family, no cultivation ability by every official measure, and no place in a world that ranks human worth by spiritual power. He has survived on isolation and discipline alone. On the morning of the Ashveil Order's tri-annual recruitment visit, something shifts inside Kael during his daily meditation. A seal of ancient origin fractures and releases a cultivation base so immense and so foreign to the known elemental spectrum that it destroys the Order's examination crystal on contact. The Order, alarmed and intrigued, takes him as an outer disciple. Within the Ashveil Order, Kael is immediately targeted. Daven Sorrel, the Order's top genius and the son of a senior elder, sees Kael as a threat to his standing and orchestrates a campaign of humiliation against him. Kael endures it with cold patience, studying the Order's resources, absorbing its techniques, and growing at a rate that defies every known cultivation model. As Kael rises through the Realms, he begins uncovering the truth buried beneath his own existence. His parents were not wanderers or commoners. They were the last surviving members of the Dravon bloodline, direct descendants of a lineage the Heavenly Dominion Empire declared extinct two decades ago. The Ashveil Order participated in their destruction. His entire childhood of erasure was not an accident. It was a containment strategy. The First Being's blood does not permit containment.

The human essence is unchanged from century to century. They are ready to destroy for the sake of profit what can help, save them from the coming catastrophe - witches. Creel is an ordinary person who fell victim to human deceit, his death was cruel and terrible. He hoped for eternal sleep, beautiful oblivion, but what did he get? He is the only one whose life is so closely intertwined with the witches, he was called to another world against his will, they placed hopes on him, endowed him with strength, gave him new opportunities and forced him to become the Shield of the Witches.
