​

The Starborn...
 
It was just a legend, right? The story of the “Heart of Hearts,” a philosopher-king who wielded the Sword Durandal?
 
Lukas swept the monastery floors every day, his eyes always wandering to the old, chipped blade upon the altar.

Orphans of the Zerlina monastery, Lukas and Nox have been isolated from the world outside for the entirety of their lives. Despite the austere teachings of her guardian monk, Nox had always known she was different. Her crimson left eye made sure of that. She knew Lukas didn't mind, though. To him, Nox was Nox and always would be. Every day, they would daydream about living out their lives as adventurers beyond the walls of the cathedral. But as mundane as they believe their world is, a dirge rides upon the wind. A dark hand is pulling strings, and the world of Lythia is on the brink of war. Evils stalk Nox from the comfort of shadows, and little do the two know that they are about to be engulfed in a grand act of swords and spells.

Lythia faces its greatest threat...and only the Heart of Hearts can give it salvation.​
