Child of the Phoenix

A fated child. An unraveling prophecy. A game in play with the highest of stakes.

In a realm where destiny is woven into a celestial tapestry, the creatures of the gods awaken a bloodline thought to have perished with Aramast’s ascent to the throne. Magic is reborn into the world of Hayara, ancient secrets unravel, the games of the gods unfurl, and the fate of a nation rests on the shoulders of a single violet-eyed child.

Born and raised deep in the mountains, hidden from sight, Hayame knows the obsidian throne will be hers and the people of Hayara safe once more. Delivered into the world to the orchestra of fiery eruptions and intense storms, the child grows into a woman with a prophecy to decipher and the strength to defeat the evil that rules. Where the gods weave their intricate games, her every step becomes a dance with destiny.

Guided by determination and armed with a loyal circle of allies within the rugged peaks she calls home and hidden amidst the shadows of the land beyond, she stands poised to fulfill her destined role. Will Hayame’s unwavering spirit burn like the phoenix’s eternal flame and allow her to reclaim her birthright, or will the wars fought end in her destruction?
