In a world where echoes hold power and forgotten halls breathe with ancient light, one boy discovers a key that can change everything.

The Shattered Light

Where memory pulls, the river listens, and silence learns your name.

In Wrenmere, the river no longer behaves like water – it behaves like memory. Beneath the city, Aetherfold Hall stirs with a new blue note. When a girl named Ilyth arrives holding a cracked Key that shouldn’t exist, echoes fracture the world. With Myra Vex missing, Arlen Quill must hold a balance already breaking. The Fold doesn’t just remember. It reshapes.
