[sorry guys, I did already rite 16 chapters for what I thought this story needed to be, but it was too slow paced for me, I could've called that a prologue that's how far away it was from the main story i had planned for this novel, so this is attempt two, it gets straight into the kingdom building, but don't worry, there's still a bit of tragedy, as that is life isn't it, hope u enjoyyy.]

In a war-torn fantasy world divided into seven great kingdoms, each kingdom holds one of the Seven Legendary Swords — mystical weapons of immense power, each with its own unique magic and heavy cost. The Kingdom of Valmair, once proud and noble, falls to betrayal and invasion. Its legendary sword, Elthan – the Sword of Will, is shattered in battle. Jyn Argren, the crown prince of Valmair, escapes the destruction of his homeland carrying only the broken fragments of Elthan. Branded a fallen heir, Jyn begins a perilous journey across the shattered lands to retrieve the remaining six legendary swords: • Ngroth – the Sword of Flame • Mirka – the Sword of Shadows • Alinor – the Sword of Wisdom • Braxus – the Sword of Blood • Izkril – the Sword of Storms • Lindra – the Sword of Purity Each sword is protected by powerful enemies, ancient curses, and forgotten truths. Along the way, Jyn gathers a group of allies — warriors, mages, and outcasts — including the loyal sorceress Nora Val, the exiled knight Rook Tanner, the clever assassin Sera Dallen, and others. Together, they face monstrous creatures, corrupted generals, and the mysterious figure known as The Watcher. As Jyn collects the swords, they begin to merge into a new, darker weapon. But one piece is still missing — the shards of his broken sword, Elthan. Only by reforging it can Jyn complete the transformation into the Bannerblade — a black sword of overwhelming power known as “The Banner of Shame.” With this blade, Jyn seeks not only revenge, but justice — and the power to rebuild his father’s fallen city, Valyos, from the ashes. The final battles will test his will, his morality, and his heart — especially as romance and heartbreak twist the fate of those closest to him. In the end, Jyn becomes more than a warrior. He becomes a symbol — a banner for the broken, the betrayed, and the brave
