Throne of the Unwritten
In a world where Authority defines reality, the very act of naming, judging, and enforcing law carries life-altering consequences. Kael, a seemingly insignificant laborer, discovers a broken Name Fragment in the archives of a Null District, triggering the awakening of a dormant Seed of Dominion a force capable of bending the world around him.
But the cost is steep: with every Edict or Dominion he deploys, Kael loses fragments of memory, identity, and humanity. Ostracized by society as a Null-Bearer, he wanders through cities ruled by factions, corrupt lords, and mercenary agents, gradually learning the mechanics of Authority, Dominion, and partial powers wielded by others.
Joined by Iria, a tactical manipulator with Conclusion Authority, Bastion Hale, a protector with conditional shields, and Silme, a rogue who nullifies contracts with Refusal, Kael navigates a world where politics is a battlefield, and reality itself can be a weapon.
As Kael’s power grows, so too do the dangers. Overextended Dominions create Collapse Scars that twist reality, Witness Voids where Authority fails, and Null Zones that nullify his power entirely. The city-states of Virellis become the stage for the first test of his Dominion in a high-stakes political and physical confrontation, forcing him to manipulate both law and perception to survive.
But survival is only the beginning. Multi-faction war looms on the horizon, with other Authorities vying for control, each with their own agendas, each capable of tearing the fragile balance apart. As Kael grapples with the consequences of power, he faces an inescapable question: how much of himself can he sacrifice to bend the world to his will, and at what cost to his identity?
The Marked Name is a tale of political intrigue, moral ambiguity, tactical battles, and the harrowing psychological cost of power, where the line between survival and corruption blurs, and reality itself bends to those who dare to name it.
