The Book of Scarrath, Volume One: The Children of The Margins

For decades, the gods have been silent.

In a world where divine voices once guided the fate of nations, their absence has left a vacuum filled by tyrants, corruption, and a creeping darkness that transforms the land itself. The Thornwood—once a sacred forest—now writhes with impossible geometries and creatures that should not exist. And in the forgotten spaces between kingdoms, children appear with no parents, no past, no place to belong.

They call them the borderless. The unwanted. The cursed.

But they are something far more dangerous: the children of imprisoned gods.

When Caílte, a legendary warrior haunted by duty, joins forces with Nóhar and Mílan—two borderless outcasts discovering terrifying powers within themselves—they embark on a desperate quest into the heart of the corrupted Thornwood. Guided by Síofra, a fragmented goddess who has spent decades searching for her father, they seek the impossible: to free a god from chains forged by mortal hands and blood magic.

But freedom comes at a price measured in blood and sacrifice. King Cúmor’s armies march south, led by his sorcerer Fearghus—the architect of the gods’ imprisonment and creator of abominations that defy nature itself. Betrayal festers within the alliance. Brothers fall in battle. And in the ruins of Aranath, where reality itself has been shattered, an ancient binding holds a power that could save the world—or destroy it forever.

The Silence is ending. The gods are stirring. And those born in the margins will determine the fate of all Scarrath.

A sweeping epic of divine imprisonment and mortal courage, where forgotten children become legends and the price of freedom is written in the blood of heroes.
