Echoes in the Ashen Vale

In the fractured Tyrdom of Gvozda, where echoes of a cataclysmic past scar the very land, Raina lives a quiet life cataloging forgotten histories. Her kindness is a small light in a grim world, but it marks her. When the Emperor’s dreaded Umbral Guard storms her archive, she is saved by Kazimir, a grim, duty-bound protector who has watched over her from the shadows her entire life. He reveals she is the last scion of the Sundered Throne, bearing the Echo-Heart - a power capable of healing the fractured land and usurping the Emperor. Now, they are on the run, hunted by a relentless tyrant and haunted by a powerful, unspoken connection. As fragments of a past life surface in Raina’s dreams, she begins to suspect her protector's devotion and her own tragic destiny were not ordained by fate, but meticulously planned by a version of herself she can no longer remember. Can she trust the path laid out by her own ghost, or is she running toward a sacrifice she would never choose to make?
