9000

Hiraeth is a realm where the mundane and the magical intertwine, where ancient bloodlines and old magic shape destinies. This world, steeped in history and myth, is defined by its vibrant landscapes and intricate power dynamics. From the sun-dappled forests of Kynevyn to the bustling port cities of the Southern Seas, the world's beauty is both enchanting and treacherous. From noble Fae with ties to the trees older than time itself to skilled Nymph sailors to whom the very winds bow, its inhabitants must navigate a world where every shadow holds a secret and every alliance can shift like the tides.   At the heart of the conflict lies the struggle for power and identity. Kingdoms vie for control, with the corrupt forces of Priok and Coteron spreading their influence like a blight. Against this backdrop, two souls wrestle with their destinies. As Deryn, a Faerie prince in hiding, flees from those who seek to overtake his kingdom, his journey aboard the Titan's Wake holds a quest not only for reclaiming his birthright, but for his very survival. Meanwhile, the enigmatic Jael, Captain of the Titan's Wake, with his golden eyes and hidden past, harbors his own secrets and a forgotten history he has yet to uncover.   Self-discovery, love, and rebellion. These are what await our unwitting heroes. Deryn and Jael's relationship unfolds against a backdrop of political intrigue and cultural clashes, challenging preconceived notions of identity and duty. As they navigate their growing feelings for each other, they must also unite disparate groups to stand against their common enemies. Their journey is fraught with internal and external struggles, from grappling with unexpected reveals to facing relentless pursuers. The stakes are high, and the cost of failure is steep.   It is a land where the past and present collide, where heroes rise from unexpected places, and where the bonds forged in adversity hold the power to reshape the fate of kingdoms old and new.
