scorch

A hundred years ago, the sun’s flames crept hotter and brighter until daylight became a furnace—mankind retreated into the night, and the world was claimed by shadow. In the silence of moonlit streets, water became worship, and three mighty prophets—Children of the Sun, Moon, and Stars—rose from ash to rule with fire-forged faith. No one knows if the Scorch was divine wrath or a cosmic accident, but for a century the faithful have burned heretics, torn nations apart, and lived by ritual “Purification” to prove their worth. Now, sixteen-year-old Ádin survives in a hidden bunker, trading scraps for scraps and precious drops of water. Marked by secret scars that only glow under his skin he lives with Fletcher, his mute golden retriever, and clings to the cryptic lullaby his grandmother left him. Out in the ruins roams Salvator Morgan, a man whose ageless eyes have seen the fall of empires and who whispers rumors of a “true child of prophecy.” When Ádin discovers the first fragment of a hidden map— he realizes he may hold the key to a long-lost salvation. But every step toward the truth draws the attention of the Children of the Stars, a fanatical cult whose young prophet will stop at nothing to claim destiny for himself. As the moon circles high and the ashes swirl, Ádin must decide: cling to everything he’s known, or embrace a perilous path that could either resurrect humanity… or consume him in the flames of betrayal. In a world where water is worship and every lie is branded in blood, survival means choosing whom to trust—and what you’re willing to burn.

1805 years of the Age Of The First King, a boy by the name of Scorch and his twin sister run away from their abusive father and find themselves in the royal capital of the Edessa Kingdom. After another tragedy that scars Scorch for the rest of his life, he joins the army in order to achieve his dream: make the world a better place. Years after he joins the army he encounters a mage on the battlefield, who takes away his arms and stabs him through the heart. Luckily he is saved by a mysterious man, but now he seeks revenge on the man who killed him.

Zarynthia Virelyndra D. Velmireaux, the exquisite and untouchable empress behind one of the empire's most powerful real estate dynasties, stood on the edge of collapse. Revenues were vanishing like smoke, fast and brutal—and her father, once a pillar of power, was bound for prison. Her pride, sharp as glass and heavier than gold, refused to beg for rescue from the very bloodline that watched her burn. She would not kneel. This legacy would not fall—not under her name. She would rise, alone. Cornered by circumstance and ambition, she conjured a solution: a union not for love, but survival. Strategic matrimony, she called it. Once, Kaelvynox Thalioren V. Dravenquell had offered her that lifeline—cold, clean, contractual. She had walked away then. But now? Now it was necessity. She would marry Knox, tie her fate to his, and in doing so, silence the rumors and save her empire in one move. A perfect gambit. Until the whisper hit her like a slap. Kaelvynox was throwing an engagement gala—for another woman. Another bride? Another name on his arm? Had he forgotten? Or worse—had he replaced her?

Mui, the first of the gods under the God-King, decides to expand outward, to not only serve the God-King's purpose but to live as a warrior once more, to be fulfilled. However, to live in accordance with whims, to attribute all action to emotions, is to trample on all those that stand seeking glory of their own. He finds pleasure in the terrible, sees none as equal, and toys with those that he deems worthy. Observe as he crafts legends, forges icons, and ultimately seeks liberation, as, contrary to his expectations, his destination isn't set in stone, his journey isn't play—a repetition of what is already written and thought of—and his salvation isn't glory.

Mira died because she was stupid enough to trust the people around her. Her reputation, her career, her identity and her... Marriage. All of it disappeared while she was powerless to do anything. At death's door, she swore that if she could restart it all, she would change everything. She would avoid the tragedy. She wouldnt fall in love with the same man. Now given another chance, she vowed that she will get the happiness that she deserves and definitely live a good life. Screw everyone who wronged her in the past!

The Sun has gone mad, scorching the surface and rendering it uninhabitable. Humanity was forced into the guts of the Earth, carving out their little island of light to keep Scorn and Entropy at bay. Elion was one of those humans, living in the city of Mirth—a history student infatuated with the Third Age. Unfortunately, his destiny was never to live a peaceful life among old books and ancient scriptures. Since birth, he was sentenced to become Unlocked: a being capable of transcending what ordinary humans could achieve. But, as my good buddy Uncle Ben once said: “With great power comes great responsibility.” That quote lingers in the divine conflict between the Gods and their primordial enemy—a conflict that, whether he wanted it or not, Elion was thrust into. Spoiler: he didn’t want it. Either way, gods rarely ask for permission. There will be tears. There will be love. And there will be everything in between. So with that, I welcome thee into the dark reality of Scorn—and bid you the greatest of reads.
