Three worlds · one recurring wound
Every story starts with a crack.
Three people lose the person who anchored them. One chooses vengeance. One refuses to. Two mistake fear for devotion. Same wound, three different answers — step into the one that finds you first.
About the author
Sajal Arikazuta
Sajal writes emotionally driven fiction where fantasy and human psychology intertwine — less about grand battles, more about the invisible scars that shape the people fighting them. Across a broken heaven, a fate-defying system, and a steampunk marriage, the same question keeps resurfacing: what happens the moment someone finally says the thing they've spent the whole story not saying?
When he isn't writing, he's studying, building new fictional worlds, or expanding his long-running fantasy projects.
The novel universe
Three standalone worlds.
Not a trilogy — three separate fractures, each with its own physics, its own damage, its own color. Hover a world. It bleeds into the page.
World encyclopedia
Look anything up.
A preview of the full Fandom-style database — powers, artifacts, locations, and terminology across all three worlds. Try the search.
Mystic Master
The rank behind the legend of Zero, centuries before Eden's story starts. A living rebuttal to the idea that fate can't be fought — which is exactly why Eden keeps getting compared to one.
Crysto-Card
A crystal-coated card carrying a bound entity. Playing one mid-fight can overwrite what its user is capable of — and, in Eden's case, who he briefly becomes.
Black Wings
Aren Nocthyr's wings — the one color heaven has never explained and never let him forget. Not corrupted. Not stained. Simply black.
The Fall
The night the sky cracked and Lunethra fell — silver fractures of light across the firmament, quietly rewritten by history as an accident.
Gearford
A steam-powered flying city where cargo airships cast shadows over the market and a Dust Storm can change a marriage overnight.
Dust Storm
Gearford's recurring hazard — rare in some districts, deadly to the unprepared, and the event that first cracks Damian's composure open.
Historia's Wild Mansion
Where a routine academy assignment — the Red Star Task — pulls Eden Crestfall into the fight that defines the rest of his story.
Redfall
The academy's term for a mystic user gone corrupted and dangerous. The Redfall behind this story's central fight has a name: Sebastian. He lost a daughter. Eden lost two parents. Neither of them planned on that mattering.
No entries match that search — the full encyclopedia (with every character, organization, and relationship) ships in phase two.
Where to start
There's no wrong order.
These are three unconnected standalone worlds, not a numbered series — so start with whichever ache you're in the mood for.
Start with Thronefall
Restrained at first. Then a designation, a manhunt, and a boy heaven decides to call a calamity.
Start with Fate Simulator
Destiny as a mechanic you can actually fight — and a protagonist who refuses the easy, violent answer to his own grief.
Start with The Love That Tastes Like Blood
A short, finished novella about a marriage learning the shape of its own fear.
