Eight Marks, One Fate

Eight marks burned into eight different bloodlines. Eight fates set in motion the moment those marks appeared. Across eight lands bound together by a pact a thousand years old, the chosen bearers now have to face a truth none of them asked for: their lives were never entirely their own. Strangers to each other, divided by borders, customs, and old grudges, they are pulled toward the same reckoning by a bond none of them can break. As the ancient pact stirs back to life, each bearer is left with the same haunting question. Why us, and why now, after a thousand years of silence?
