Kallias

In the kingdom of Lioren, where life flourishes endlessly under the blessing of the goddess Liora, the imperial bloodline is marked by a divine seal… but only a few inherit something more. Kallias, one of the emperor’s many sons born from the imperial harem, is not the heir to the throne. Yet his power sets him apart: he does not create life, he awakens it. Wherever there is soil and seed, he can compel it to bloom, embodying the very will of the goddess. While the people begin to see him as a chosen one, within the palace his gift sows rivalry among his siblings, all potential contenders for the throne once the emperor dies. Detached from these intrigues and true to his gentle nature, Kallias accepts the path laid before him, including a political marriage already decided for him. But on the day he comes of age, everything begins to change with the arrival of a prisoner—a thief, brutally punished, whose survival now depends on the prince’s magic. As Kallias descends into the dungeons to save him, he is confronted for the first time with something his power cannot understand. Because not all life wishes to bloom… and not everything that grows is a blessing.
