Description
Aleister is a scion of the noble House Belmont. Or, at least he was before a civil war broke out in the Vallonian Empire. As a child, he witnessed the destruction of his clan and was forced to chase safety. His stints, as a prisoner of war combined with the trauma, stressed his already weak heart. Seven years later, he lives comfortably as an adopted child in the village of Stillside. However, reading palms and tarot cards to glimpse into his future can only get him so far. Now, it's time for him to take fate into his own hands with the only way he knows how. A demonic ritual.
Western progression fantasy.

- BrayrandRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Enjoying this piece a lot so far! Well written and paced, it pulls the reader into a descriptive world with plenty of details to explore. Aleister, our wry protaganist gives us a lot to work with out of his humble origins, while Syn promises us plot advancement and character development. The second project from Devoidofskill, this carries greater maturity in both theme and exectution making it a pleasurable but entrapping read.
