– The Ninth Key

  Before kingdoms were born... before memory was law... there was only the Origin.

  In an age forgotten by time, the Queen of Valeria tore her own soul into eight keys—each one bound to a king, each one holding a fragment of her power. But a ninth key remained.

  The Key of Memories.

  With it, she rewrote the world’s truth. No one remembers the keys' true purpose. No one recalls the ancient war. No one dares question why eight kings serve one queen.

  But fate is starting to fray.

  A boy awakens in the forest, with powers forbidden and memories not his own. Light and shadow battle within him. His presence stirs the veil. His name is Arata—and his very existence is a threat to the world’s oldest lie.

  The hunt begins.

  The keys awaken.

  The Queen watches.
