In Fauthera, power does not come from strength alone—it answers to memory, restraint, and consequence.
Astra, the force that permeates the world, shapes nations and defines bloodlines. Kingdoms rise and fall by how they wield it. Clans refine methods of control. Organizations observe, measure, and attempt to understand it. And some truths are buried so deeply that even the world itself seems to forget them.
The Veyl siblings grow up far from centers of power, in a place untouched by ambition or war. Their lives are simple, their days familiar—but beneath the surface, something is wrong. Each of them carries instincts they never learned, reactions that don’t make sense, and a growing awareness that the world responds to them differently than it should.
When that fragile normalcy fractures, the siblings are forced to confront a reality far larger than their isolated lives. Distant forces begin to turn their attention. Calculations are made. Lines are drawn. Some seek understanding. Others seek control.
As pressure mounts, the siblings must face questions no one prepared them to answer:
What are they becoming?
What was hidden from them?
And how much of themselves will survive the answers?
Scars of Being is a dark fantasy epic about identity and survival—where power leaves scars, restraint is tested, and the cost of being seen may be higher than being lost.
