Where it begins

The message that changes the fate of kingdoms

In a world shaped by Al-Alawi and the secret of four swords, a coronation night becomes the beginning of another war. A mysterious message, a poisoned king, and an ancient enemy place one prince inside a destiny that began millennia before his birth.

The buried legacy

Four swords. One power no kingdom should hold alone.

Al-Alawi left behind one sword and four keys. Since that day, every kingdom has guarded a piece of the power—and a different version of the truth.

If the swords are united, the question will not be who rules the world, but what kind of world survives.
