Ancient Shadows: Stolen Souls

In Setharis, a world where the art of thievery is not a crime but the very foundation of society, the rules and organizations of thieves dictate order. Ranks, guilds, and entire family clans control the constant dance of appropriation, where audacity and skill are the true currency. Rix, a young and ambitious rogue, lives to prove his worth in this elegant and dangerous underworld. But a routine heist leads him to possess something far beyond the ordinary: a Soul Gem, a legendary artifact imbued with vital energy and ancient secrets. The possession of the gem, and subsequently a forbidden book from the mysterious Order of Scribes, thrusts Rix and his guild, the Silk Fingers, into a power struggle that shakes Setharis to its core. Ancient and terrifying beings known as the Slumbering Legacies begin to awaken, threatening to plunge the world into chaos. Caught between the fury of a Legacy, the search for a legendary "Seraphina's Tear" that may hold the key to calm, and a dangerous and uncertain alliance with the all-powerful Council of Shadows, Rix must unravel the secrets of the Gem of Insight and use forbidden knowledge to navigate betrayals, confrontations, and the shocking truth about the Legacies. Will a cunning thief's skill be enough to face forces that have slept for ages? Discover the secrets buried beneath centuries of dust and the true face of power in this epic of thievery, magic, and the awakening of legends in Setharis.
