A Golden Cage Shattered by Fate
In a world where magic flows like blood through veins of power, Auren's journey from captivity to self-discovery captivates from the first moment. Once the prized possession of King Midas, this woman with golden skin finds herself torn from the grasp of Commander Slade during the Conflux-a gathering of Orea's monarchs that descended into chaos. Now she plummets through an endless void between worlds, her senses stripped away one by one as darkness consumes her. Time stretches meaningless around her until she remembers Slade's final words: "Don't fall. Fly." Drawing on her gold magic, she weaves a cocoon of power that carries her not to death, but to a destiny she never imagined. When Auren lands in a field of glowing blue blossoms, she discovers her gold ribbons have returned-two dozen flowing from her back like liquid sunshine. More shocking still is the crowd of fae watching her with reverence, whispering about "the broken-winged bird of prophecy." An elderly woman steps forward, addressing her as "Lyari Ulvere" and welcoming her home. This moment shatters everything Auren thought she knew about herself. She hasn't just fallen into another realm-she's returned to her ancestral homeland of Annwyn, the legendary fae realm hidden between worlds.
