Fan CastingTHE ONE BORN IN SHADOW AND FIRE (2031)

In the war-torn kingdom of Velmoria, power is held by King Alric, a ruthless ruler who wields a mysterious, enchanted gauntlet said to be forged from the bones of ancient gods. His rule is absolute—until a prophecy foretells that his throne will fall to "the one born in shadow and fire." That prophecy points to Prince Kael, Alric’s estranged son, who was exiled after his mother’s execution. Living as a mercenary in the lawless lands, Kael has no interest in destiny—until an assassin nearly kills him with the same enchanted magic Alric commands. Saved by Lady Seraphina, a fugitive sorceress, Kael learns that his father is hunting down all magical bloodlines, fearing the prophecy. Seraphina reveals the truth: Kael's mother was a Celestian, an ancient race that once ruled the skies before Alric’s war wiped them out. His blood carries their dormant power, and the only way to stop his father is to awaken it before Alric’s reign is complete. Now, hunted by the Black Knight—the king’s most feared enforcer—Kael must reunite with old allies, including Reina, his childhood friend who now leads the rebellion. With swords clashing, magic awakening, and betrayal at every turn, Kael must decide: is he a warrior of fate, or just another pawn in the game of thrones?
