A hidden power. A forbidden cargo. A soldier-turned-guardian must choose between duty and truth. Zaren Joha was forged for war—but now serves as the Queen’s Blade, the last magical sentinel of Busal City. Tasked with protecting the realm from arcane threats, he uncovers a shipment laced with strange powder and powerful secrets. What begins as a simple investigation unravels a deeper conspiracy—one that stretches into the heart of the Queen’s court and challenges everything Zaren thought he knew about magic, loyalty, and himself. As magic stirs in hidden corners and enemies close in from the shadows, Zaren must master his newfound abilities and embrace the dangerous legacy within him. Because the Queen’s Blade doesn’t just guard the realm. He is the realm’s last line of defense.
