In the beginning, there was only a heartbeat. From its rhythm rose Gaia, a living world shaped by the five elements, Earth, Water, Wood, Fire, and Metal. Her children, the Scions, walked across creation, teaching balance to tribes who whispered prayers to the wind and flame. But harmony is fragile, and when the stars opened, Gaia’s song was joined by voices from beyond. The Astral Alliance promised unity, yet shadows followed: the Voidborn, creatures of hunger, and the Dark Element, a force older than time itself. The Mysteries of Myrk is a chronicle of creation, collapse, and the return of balance. Written in the cadence of myth and echoing the timeless voice of prophecy, it traces the rise of worlds, the forging of alliances, and the tremors of discord that threaten to erase history itself. For readers who love epic fantasy, cosmic lore, and stories that feel both ancient and timeless, this first volume invites you to step into the heartbeat of creation and discover the name whispered across the stars: Myrk.
