Outcast: Mark of the Void

In a world where every child awakens a mana core by the age of twelve, Kaelen’s remained empty—a hollow cavity in his chest where power should have lived. Branded a disgrace, he is exiled by his noble family and left to die.

But death never comes.

Instead, a violent dimensional storm—the Maelstrom—tears open the sky. When lightning strikes the family crest burned into his chest, something impossible awakens.

The void inside him begins to hunger.

Dragged into a fractured world known as the Rift, a land of twin suns, living fire, and political tyranny. Kaelen is sold as a slave. There, he discovers his curse is not emptiness, but a power capable of absorbing, reshaping, and weaponizing energy itself.

As secret forces begin hunting him, Kaelen must hide his true nature while learning to survive as a blacksmith’s apprentice. But the more he grows, the harder it becomes to remain invisible.

Because in a world ruled by those who control power…

A boy who can consume it is the most dangerous weapon of all.
