The Kingdoms of Ruin

Once revered and feared in equal measure, witches were said to have received their magic from God and used it to steer humanity toward progress. As science advances and closes the gap between spellcraft and human ingenuity, that balance collapses. The Redia Empire, intent on securing dominion and shaping the future on its own terms, decrees the eradication of all witches—threatening to end the age of magic entirely.

On the run from the purge, the renowned witch Chloe flees with her apprentice, Adonis, only to be hunted down by the Empire. After Chloe is captured and executed, Adonis is left shattered by the loss and by humanity’s cruelty. With grief hardening into hatred, he resolves to retaliate using the very power the Empire is determined to erase.
