When Everything Returns to Zero
Centuries of peace shatter when the nations of Ateris and Largimor fall into a silent, poisonous war one fought not with heroes or ideals, but with politics, arranged marriages, and the hidden power of the Nullborne: those born with the ability to erase mana itself.
Emerion Dawnveil never wanted to be a piece on the board. Raised under suffocating expectations, cherished only for his rare, unstable gift, he tries to flee the life chosen for him only to fall into the hands of the ruthless Sunfury clan. Tortured for information, dragged into negotiations as a living bargaining chip, he realizes something far darker is moving behind the scenes… something even his bloodline fears.
Arlienne Dawnveil, his younger sister, is everything he is not brilliant, cold, and terrifyingly capable. While her father scrambles to save political alliances, she crafts a plan that could turn the war in their favor… at the cost of hundreds of innocent lives. In her eyes, this is simply the price of survival. After all, even pawns become queens when they reach the final square.
As nations prepare to burn, ancient forces begin to stir.
Truths long buried claw their way back.
And every path whether of power, betrayal, or sacrifice seems to return to the same point:
Zero.
When the world resets, who will be left standing?
And who will be erased?
