Whispering Woods

​To inherit a dragon's blessing, one's soul must remain pure. But in a forest where the gods themselves go to die, purity is the ultimate death sentence.

The royal dragon bloodlines of Mistoria have always viewed the world as a chessboard of pristine mana, flawless political masks, and sacred lineages. Lillian Mistler, however, has always been the family anomaly. While her older twin brothers inherit the kingdom’s grandest legacies—Caius, a dangerously calculating prodigy, and Kaelen, an eccentric magic scholar—Lillian possesses a silent, unawakened sensitivity to the hidden layers of reality. Where ordinary mortals are entirely blind to the world's primordial forces, she can feel them breathing.

​When a localized magical phenomenon begins to aggressively drain the continent's ambient energy, the siblings are forced to venture into the suffocating twilight of the lawless Nyctis Forest. Their goal is simple: eliminate the source of the drain.

​But the wilderness has its own agenda. Guided by a deeply unsettling, phantom entity that only Lillian can perceive, the royal party is led deep into the heart of a dead valley, standing before a rotting, heavily guarded structure.

​What lies chained inside is not an ancient weapon or a mindless beast—but a fading soul whose very existence threatens to shatter human history and pull Lillian into a dangerous, forbidden bond.

​Faced with a terrifyingly intricate curse that defies the laws of magic, and a prisoner who can see straight through their royal identities, Lillian's group finds themselves entirely defenseless. As political tension flares and time runs out, Lillian's invisible guide whispers a lethal shortcut directly into her mind. To save a star she was never meant to find, she must bypass her brother's protective blade and unleash a dormant, terrifyingly pure power.
