Doom of the Unworthy
In a world where destiny is written by divine decree, where children receive their Fate from the gods themselves—knights, mages, healers, and rulers—one boy stands cursed by emptiness.
Runalt Raelthorn, the eldest son of the mighty Duke of Valdoria, should have been a legend. Born into the wealthiest, most powerful family in the kingdom, he was expected to inherit greatness. But when the day of Fate arrived—when every child stepped into the holy Sanctuary to receive the mark of their destiny—Runalt’s mark was empty. No talent. No power. No future.
In a society ruled by strength and skill, where the strong protect the city from monsters beyond the magical gates, an "Empty One" is worse than worthless. It is a curse. A disgrace. A danger. Now, the city turns on him—peasants hurling stones, nobles whispering behind closed doors, and his own family preparing to cast him aside. His uncle plots to seize the Raelthorn estate. The council doubts his right to lead. Even his own father, Duke Caldras, stands distant, unable—or unwilling—to protect him from the storm brewing in Valdoria.
Yet not all is as it seems. Beneath Runalt’s calm, cold gaze lies a secret: a dark power, ancient and waiting, a demon’s whisper curled in the depths of his soul. For years, Runalt has buried his pain, swallowed his anger, endured the scorn of the world. But the hatred of the city, the betrayal of his blood, and the looming threat of the monsters beyond the gates have stirred the beast within.
Runalt may be the Unworthy now—but when the time comes, the world will tremble.
As power struggles erupt within House Raelthorn, secrets surrounding his younger sister Alise begin to surface. Questions arise: Is she truly his sister? Or a pawn in a greater scheme? And his loyal maid Elira—what truths does she hide behind her cold, sharp eyes?
Monsters threaten the city. Enemies lurk within the walls. And Runalt…
Runalt will either become Valdoria’s salvation—or its destruction.
Doom of the Unworthy is a dark fantasy tale of betrayal, vengeance, and a cursed destiny that refuses to bow.
Prepare for a story where power is everything, loyalty is a lie, and fate itself can shatter beneath the weight of a hidden darkness.
