Ten Lands Divided. One Shattered Past. A Forbidden Magic on the Brink of Awakening.

In a world torn apart by the catastrophic Quake, Evella Trapper has lived a life of isolation on the northern banks of Corallon. For generations, her family has struggled to survive, relying on hunting and trapping to sustain them—but no matter how much time passes, the sins of her past still haunt her.

Everything changes when Evella meets Arek, a stranger displaced by the quakes, who reveals a shocking truth: the king has sent him to recruit her for a secret army, one that wields a powerful, forbidden magic—Soulmagic.

As the quakes grow stronger and threaten to tear the world apart, Evella embarks on a journey to master her powers. But her Soulmagic only emerges in her sleep, leaving her unable to fight back in the waking world. With the fate of her family, her homeland, and her own future at stake, she must confront her darkest fears—both the ones buried in her past and those that threaten the fragile peace of the present.

Joined by a team of Soulmagi, Evella faces the ghosts of her past, uncovers the deadly truth behind the quakes, and must make an impossible choice. Will she harness her power in time to protect the people she loves and secure the future she desperately wants?
