Paliro

Welcome to Paliro Island, a land shrouded in mist and legend, where freshwater seas ripple beneath a silvery moon and ancient forests whisper forgotten secretsIts shores are home to many—some bound by tradition, others drawn by the call of the wilds. Here, the balance between nature and magic teeters on a knife’s edge. For those who dare to listen, Paliro offers both sanctuary and peril, a place where destinies are forged in silence and storm.

For years, Ashe has lived as one of the non-magical Vetheri, unaware of the power sleeping within him since his fifteenth year. But now, at twenty-one, something ancient stirs—a bond unlike any other begins to awaken. When Thain, his bond and a Nimari, entrusts him with his bag, Ashe’s world shifts. The wilds begin to whisper secrets only he can hear, and the Nimari watch him with wary eyes, unsure what his emergence means. Drawn deeper into the heart of this untamed wilderness, Ashe must uncover truths long buried—truths that could change not only his fate but the very magic of Paliro Island.
