The Fracture of Shackles (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9782959137020)

Whose voice whispers freedom in the dark?

Captured beneath the banner of a crimson sun, Valirian's life as a noble ends the moment his freedom is sold. Once heir to a peaceful land, he awakens in the shadow of the Koreshian Empire, where slaves are broken and the will to dream is a dangerous thing.

Forced into the brutal depths of the Kennels and later into the service of a feared general, Valirian must navigate a realm where power is worshipped and mercy is scarce.

Each day tests his resolve as his new condition makes him all too accustomed to cruelty, betrayal, and the slow erosion of everything he once believed. Yet beneath the weight of chains, a flicker of defiance survives, and through pain he begins to see the world not as he was taught, but as it truly is.

In a landscape steeped in ambition and dark magic, Valirian's struggle becomes more than survival-it becomes a reckoning. The choices he makes will decide not only his fate but the destiny of all who still dare to hope.

The Fracture of Shackles is a sweeping tale of dark fantasy and magical realism, where loyalty and rebellion blur and the fight for freedom becomes the fight for one's soul.

The empire awaits. Will you stand or kneel?
