The Forgotten Sovereign

THE FORGOTTEN SOVEREIGN

In a world where magic is strictly controlled by a ruling elite, Tarian Rook has always been at the bottom of society—a “Null” with no magical ability, condemned to a life of manual labor in his remote village on the edge of the mysterious Drift. But when an enigmatic scholar named Lysandra hires him as a guide into the crystalline wasteland, everything Tarian believes about himself and his world begins to unravel.

A chance encounter with crystalline entities awakens abilities within Tarian that shouldn’t exist—powers to perceive and manipulate the fundamental resonance patterns of reality itself. Powers that the ruling Luminary Council has spent centuries systematically suppressing. Powers that mark him as something the Council fears above all else: a true Resonant.

Pursued by the Council’s most ruthless hunter, Inquisitor Reaux, Tarian must flee with Lysandra into a world he barely understands. Along the way, they gather unlikely allies: Elian, a disillusioned Council enforcer with a conscience; Sorcha, a gifted elemental mage hiding her true potential; and Toric, a crystalline Drift Weaver seeking to restore what was lost centuries ago.

As Tarian discovers the truth about his abilities and the Council’s lies, he uncovers a shocking revelation—five hundred years ago, Archmagister Holt deliberately severed humanity’s connection to True Magic, replacing it with a controlled system that maintains his power. What the Council has long portrayed as salvation from magical chaos was actually the greatest theft in history.

Now, with his newfound companions, Tarian must infiltrate the Central Spire, confront Holt, and restore the ancient resonance network that once connected all living things. But doing so means confronting an uncomfortable question: if Holt’s system of control has prevented magical catastrophe for five centuries, could restoring true magical freedom unleash something worse?

“The Forgotten Sovereign” is an epic fantasy of magical revolution, featuring an overpowered yet consistently underestimated protagonist who must reconcile his immense abilities with wisdom and compassion. In a world where magic flows freely once more, the true challenge isn’t gaining power, but understanding how to use it for harmony rather than dominance.
