Every dwarf knows magic is evil. It's an insidious weapon used by only the most depraved creatures, which is why it has been outlawed in the dwarven kingdom for centuries. Thrack Durimsson has a good life; when he isn't fighting in the militia against invaders, he's digging tunnels and drinking with his mates. However, after he and several other dwarven warriors are cursed with magical powers, a new threat comes from within the caves that he has bled and killed to protect. Now, one by one the inquisition led by the ruthless Mordin are hunting down and publicly executing every dwarven wizard. In order to survive, Thrack must leave behind the only life he's ever known, escape from the underground kingdom, and navigate his way through foreign lands to find a cure that may not even exist before he is caught and killed.

Book 1 in The Rift-born Chronicle At thirteen, every child awakens-either as a Guide or an Esper. At eighteen, they are Matched in a sacred bond, their fates entwined to protect the world from the monstrous Revenants that spill through the Rifts. Cai Athren was supposed to be the perfect heir-born into a dynasty of elite Guides, destined to pair with an equally powerful Esper. But there's a problem. His hypersensitive senses reject every candidate, their presence unbearable. The Academy whispers about his unmatched status, and his family is losing patience. If he doesn't choose a partner, the Athren name will be tarnished forever. Then Thalassa Riven walks in. An orphan. A stray. A wildcard. The first Esper whose presence doesn't revolt him-but instead draws him in like a tidal pull. She is S-Rank, unnaturally powerful, and undeniably dangerous. The Academy doesn't trust her. The Vanguard watches her too closely. And Cai's family refuses to accept an Esper with no lineage. But the moment their Synchronization begins, it's unlike anything the world has seen before. Their bond is too strong, too intense, too raw. And as whispers of the Riftborn King echo through Thalassa's mind, she begins to wonder-was she Matched with Cai by fate? Or is she something else entirely? Because in a world where power is inherited, not chosen... their bond might just break everything.

They survive in the icy, inhospitable north, in a small nation called Frostholm. The harsh climate forces them to rely on creativity and sheer willpower. Though despised by other races, humans remain resourceful and dream of reclaiming their place in the world. To the east, dwarves and beastmen have formed a formidable alliance.

The beastmen, fierce and physically powerful, add raw strength to their efforts. Together, they represent a rising challenge to the elves, though tensions within the alliance threaten their unity. The southern lands are shrouded in unnatural darkness, feared by all. Magic is draining from the land, leaving behind dead forests and barren wastelands. The air carries an ancient evil, spreading corruption across Belloria. Whispers of this darkness haunt the land, foretelling doom.
