The Kingdom Beneath Shadows

di HIMA CHER (Autore)

HIMA CHER, 2025

Elara, an archivist in the subterranean kingdom of Aethelgard, lives a life defined by monochrome precision and emotional sterility—the only path sanctioned by the ruling Cinder Court. The kingdom exists beneath a pervasive magical oppression, the Shadow, which stifles all true feeling, branding joy and longing as chaotic threats. Elara prides herself on her detachment, believing the Grey is the safest way to survive. Her ordered world shatters when she discovers the Lumina Script, a legendary, forbidden text detailing a forgotten Age of Color and the prophecy of a Light Weaver. The book doesn't just reveal history; it ignites a physical change: a patch of defiant, forbidden ochre blooms on her skin, marking her as the prophecy's unwilling catalyst and the Court's immediate, mortal enemy. Forced to abandon her safe life, Elara is thrust into a terrifying alliance with Kael, a cynical former Watchman whose motives are shrouded in ambiguity and danger. She embarks on a desperate journey through the kingdom's forgotten lower sectors and across the desolate Surface, carrying a secret far heavier than the book itself: the Reflector Core, the ancient heart of Aethelgard's emotional engine. Elara is not destined to restore color and chaos; she is destined to fulfill a deeper, necessary mission of sacrifice. She must destroy the Core, neutralizing the kingdom's capacity for untamed, destructive feeling, and ensuring a final, stable, but emotionless peace. Dive into this intense, character-driven adventure where true feeling is the most dangerous form of rebellion and survival demands the ultimate betrayal of the self.
