Between Magic and Vengeance: A World Divided
In the realm of Tiressia, magic and power create dangerous fault lines. The frigid Winterhold stands to the north under the immortal Frost King, Colden Moeshka. Ambitious princes plot in the east. And nestled in Silver Hollow valley, witches live under the shadow of Collecting Day-when one of their own is taken each year by the mysterious Witch Collector. For eight years, Raina Bloodgood has nursed a singular purpose: to kill the Frost King and his servant who took her beloved sister Nephele. Unlike other witches who sing their magic, Raina was born mute and crafts her spells through sign language-a secret ability and potential weakness. She possesses another hidden talent too-the power to heal, rare and coveted. What makes this world so compelling is how magic feels both wondrous and dangerous. The witches of Silver Hollow manifest their powers through witch's marks-shimmering patterns on their skin that glow when they work their craft. The God Knife that Raina plans to use against the Frost King is said to be crafted from the rib of a dead deity-hinting at deeper mythological underpinnings. Collecting Day arrives with Raina prepared to execute her plan-kidnap the Witch Collector and force him to guide her through Frostwater Wood to rescue her sister. But Alexus, the Collector, arrives with unexpected news: the Prince of the East is launching an attack. Before Raina can process this, Silver Hollow erupts into chaos. Eastlander warriors descend with magical fire arrows and shadowy crows. Villagers incinerate, homes burn, and the protective magic dome shatters under the enemy's supernatural weapons. In this moment of crisis, Raina reveals herself to be more than just a healer-fighting with remarkable skill using her scythe, surprising even the Witch Collector. The devastation culminates when the Prince of the East materializes from crimson smoke. Raina watches in horror as her mother displays extraordinary power before being murdered by the prince. In grief and rage, Raina slashes the prince's face with the God Knife, causing him to flee but marking herself as his enemy.
