In the world of Aetherion,power decided everything.
At the age of sixteen,every human stood before the Awakening Crystal and discovered their fate. Warriors gained strength beyond mortal limits. Mages bent elements at their will. Healers defied death itself.
And then there was Kael Verdan.
The crystal had gone dark when he touched it.
No class.
No element.
No blessing.
The silence in the grand hall had been louder than laughter. From that day on ,Kael was branded Nullborn-a powerless anomaly in a world ruled by strength.
Yet Kael endured.
Not because he was strong,but because he was never alone.
Riven Holt,his best friend since childhood awakened as a Flame Vanguard , gifted with blazing sword and boundless potential. And Elara Moonfall, kind brilliant Elara, awakened as a Lightweaver-rare ,radiant, beloved.
They never abandoned him.
They trained together. Adventured together. They laughed together when nobles mocked Kael. Elara will squeeze his hand and whisper, power does not define you.
Kael believe her.
That believe would nearly cost his soul
