Autumn Ends in Darkness: A Tale of Fire and Shadows

Adrelo Torsten was supposed to celebrate becoming a man. Instead, his village burned.On the night of his coming-of-age festival, Redmill is torn apart by betrayal, fire, and steel. When the smoke clears, Adrelo is the prize left buried in the ashes: the son of a broken mage, heir to a power he does not understand, and the one boy Lord Saar Moutre came to claim.Taken to a distant manor and raised alongside two other gifted outcasts, Adrelo is trained to fight, deceive, and obey. Saar offers him comfort, purpose, and a future far greater than anything his village could have given him.But every lesson comes with a cost.As Adrelo grows into the weapon Saar intended, something darker begins to stir inside him-something drawn to violence, power, and the terrible freedom of becoming more than human. And when he is finally sent into a foreign realm, he must decide whether he is still a victim of the man who took everything from him......or the monster Saar always hoped he would become.A character-driven dark fantasy about manipulation, ambition, loyalty, and the making of a weapon.
