The Fox Lord
From the moment their souls take shape, every human is tethered to a star, a celestial link bestowing a singular, extraordinary gift.
But Conrad, a young peasant, is different. His starlink doesn’t obey. It pushes, pulls, and surges beyond control. And it has come at a devastating price: a father dead, a sister left paralyzed, and a brother’s bitterness and hatred.
When his sister’s condition worsens, and the only means of helping her is beyond reach, Conrad will have to risk everything for a chance to ease her pain. Securing a position as the king’s personal attendant is his only hope, even though it means enduring scorn, suspicion, and the constant threat of exposure. What begins as desperation soon entangles him in a web of secrets, political intrigue, and peril far greater than he ever imagined.
But as Conrad fights to control his unpredictable power, every revelation deepens the mystery. Who is he? Why does his starlink defy reason? And what will happen if the wrong people learn the truth? Because his secret isn’t just dangerous, it’s powerful enough to save the kingdom… or burn it to the ground.
