Aethera Legacy

--- They say destiny chooses its hero. Destiny chose wrong. Elian was seventeen, with exams to pass and a quiet village to call home—until the day an ancient voice spoke inside his mind. It called itself Aethera—a living relic of an age erased from history—and it had chosen him as its bearer. Now, shadows move beneath the surface of the world. Seals that should never break are shattering one by one, and something imprisoned since the dawn of time is stirring. To stop it, Elian must survive rival seekers, treacherous allies, and a war that blurs the line between myth and reality. With Lyra, his fearless best friend, at his side, he will uncover secrets buried in forgotten ruins, face battles that defy reason—and confront an enemy who wears his own face. The countdown has begun. The chained one whispers. And the legacy will not wait. ---
