Red Lotus

Kael, an orphaned stable boy with an uncanny knack for understanding magical beasts, dreams of escaping his mundane life within the sprawling, oppressive castle walls of Eldoria. His latent ability, the 'Beast Whisper,' allows him to commune with even the most savage creatures, a secret he guards fiercely. But when the tyrannical Prince Fenris, known for his cruel indulgence in gladiatorial beast fights, takes an interest in Kael's 'unusual talent,' Kael's world shatters. Forced to serve the prince's sadistic whims, Kael must navigate a court rife with dark magic and ancient rivalries, all while protecting the very beasts Fenris delights in tormenting. Kael's greatest challenge isn't just surviving the prince's games, but preventing the total subjugation of Eldoria's wild magic.
