In the Valos, the throne doesn't bestow power; it takes it.
For ages, the kings of the Valos have ruled from a throne crafted from the bones of their ancestors—a sacred relic said to whisper only to the true heir. But when the throne suddenly collapses and the royal line crumbles, an orphan girl named Kaelith begins to hear its whispers.
She's nothing. Just a shadow in the city's slums. Yet the throne calls to her.
Haunted by dreams, pursued by those who would use her blood, and drawn into the heart of a generations-long conspiracy, Kaelith uncovers a terrifying truth: the throne feeds not on loyalty, but on souls. It's not a gift from the gods but a prison for one—the God of Hunger, chained beneath the palace for a thousand years, growing more powerful with each ruler who sits on its throne.
Now, with the kingdom crumbling and war looming, Kaelith must decide: will she reclaim her legacy and sacrifice herself to contain evil, or will she destroy the throne and risk unleashing a forgotten god upon the world?
Power comes at a price.
And some thrones just weren't meant to be sat on.
