In the world of Eldermire, Lex Landsworth of 21 years old. A young, alone, and a poor farmer, living in an isolated place between the border between City Realm and Kingdom Realm in the Heart Continent.
He lives in a small hut, built from rotting wood and stones carried from the riverbed. To the merchants who crossed his path, he was only a beggar who sold strange herbs and sickly animals. To the nobles, he was vermin, a man unworthy of even the road dust on their boots.
And yet, when they looked at his face, they faltered.
For beneath his ragged hair and unwashed clothes, Rex carried the visage of a fallen noble - sharp jawline, piercing gray eyes, a figure that could have belonged to a knight. But poverty had cloaked him in shame, and rumor had blackened his name until even children spat when they passed.
But they didn't know.
They couldn't know.
At night, when the winds carried the scent of rot from the marshes, Lex's shadow grew long. And in that shadow, whispers stirred - the voices of the dead. His blood carried the forbidden magic of necromancy, a curse as much as a gift. A power outlawed in both realms, a sin punishable by death.
Magic.
In Eldermire, magic was not revered, not studied, not celebrated. It was feared. To most people it was myth - bedtime warnings and old wives' tales. To the few who had seen it, magic was nothing less than heresy. They called it unnatural, a plague upon the living. The rare individuals discovered to bear its touch were not tried or judged. They were hunted. Burned. Massacred without mercy.
And so, he knew. He knew in order to survive, is to isolated himself and let people looked down on him. A tragic man, who wasn't control of his fate. But that's what he wanted.
Because above all else, all he wanted was to live his life in peace until he was dead.
But fate is crueler that Lex believed. Across the world, four powerful, obsessive, and dangerous women were waiting from. Women who desired him, women who will kill for him. Women who will burn the world for him.
And women will do everything just to claim his love.
And so, Lex's peace will be soon shattered.
