FRAGMENTS The world was never meant to remain whole. For generations, kingdoms have risen and fallen beneath the shadow of ancient powers: elves, dwarves, orcs, and beasts. But the old order is beginning to fracture. Across the world, kingdoms are drawn into wars they do not understand. Alliances are forged and broken in the space of a single night. Ancient secrets begin to surface, and those who seek power discover that some truths were buried for a reason. Among the chaos are those who were never meant to change the course of history. A young elf who carries the weight of a kingdom on his shoulders. An assassin who moves unseen through cities built upon centuries of blood. And others whose lives seem unconnected—until the fragments begin to connect. Each believes they are fighting their own battle. Each has their own ambitions, loyalties, fears, and secrets. But their choices will collide. And when they do, kingdoms will burn. In a world where heroes can become tyrants, allies can become enemies, and victory can demand a price greater than death, no one can remain untouched by the coming storm. The world is breaking apart. And every fragment has a story.
