When The Storm Comes

Long ago, the Warden defeated the Demon King, prophesying his magic would eventually return to choose a new wielder. He left behind the Veil of Threads, a grimoire revealing future timelines; uniting both grants unstoppable power. To hide the grimoire from the wicked witch Bellatrix, the half-elf Khaleesi concealed it within the kingdom of Rinowa. Decades later, a meteor brings the Aetherlight—pure, ancient light magic—to the elven sanctuary of Emyle City.

 Aruna Fraya is the daughter of a powerful Duke, yet she lives like a ghost in her own home. Scorned by the elite and constantly tormented by her cruel younger sister, Aruna has spent her entire life enduring the abuse of high society in quiet resignation. But when a terrifying monster invasion shatters her world, that fragile peace is destroyed forever. Betrayed by her own blood and kidnapped, Aruna is tossed into the unforgiving, freezing wilds to die. Instead of freezing, she chooses to fight.

Archer is the First Prince of Rinowa—a title that means nothing when his own royal court treats him like a monster. Half-blind and cursed with a volatile, agonizing blue fire that threatens to consume him, Archer is forced into exile to survive. But the dark corners of the kingdom hide terrible secrets. Discovering his royal court is complicit in trafficking, and that Bellatrix is hunting them, Archer vows to purge Rinowa's corruption from the shadows.

 With Archer infiltrating his own kingdom and Aruna mastering the Aetherlight, their paths are destined to collide once more. To face the ancient evil looming over their world, they must unlock their true potential and claim the Warden's ultimate legacy.
