In a world where swords choose their wielders—and destiny is written in steel—a scorned young warrior vows to defy fate itself.
Auroria is a land divided. The Elites rule with flame and intellect, the Guardians enforce their harsh order, and the Sentinels guard secrets that could shatter the realm. And then there are the Fi—like Ahaan, a brash and gifted fighter whose bloodline marks him as inferior, no matter how fiercely he fights.
For generations, the sacred Sword Ceremony has determined the worth of Auroria’s people. The chosen blades grant power, status, and purpose. The unchosen are left to rot.
But Ahaan refuses to accept his fate.
With a heart of fire and a knack for bending shadows, he trains relentlessly, determined to prove that talent—not blood—should define a warrior’s worth. His rival, the disciplined Ishaan, warns him of the dangers of defiance. His father fears his ambition will get him killed. Yet when the Ceremony begins, and the swords whisper their judgments, Ahaan does the unthinkable:
He reaches for a forbidden blade.
Now, marked as both outcast and usurper, Ahaan must navigate a web of political intrigue, ancient magic, and brutal trials—all while evading the wrath of the orders that want him dead. But the sword he wielded has a will of its own… and its secrets may unravel the very foundations of Auroria.
A tale of rebellion, brotherhood, and the price of defiance, where every blade has a memory—and the greatest battles are fought within.
