A Long Song of Brilliance

After the moonlight fell, the blue of the glow stone became the only solace in the continent of Avenrad. An amber necklace engraved with ancient characters circulates in the shadow of the Britten Empire, leading the fate of three teenagers. Helmright Stuart recorded the wandering traveler in his sonnets. The necklace was the only connection between him and his parents, and it was also his obsession to find the truth. Hemei, a mage who lacks brilliance but is full of tenacity, uses her construction skills to make up for her shortcomings in talent, silently guarding her partners and unspoken feelings. Alyosha, a warrior who carries the memory of a wandering nation, defends the hard-won sense of belonging with his machete and blood. The three of them embarked on a journey across the continent together, from the streets of the slums to the ruins of the gilded desert, from the books of the magic academy to the windy sands of the colonial provinces. What they have to face are the secret forces hidden under the surface of civilization, the unknown rules of the world behind the glory, and the unspeakable confusion and choices on the way to growth. Four poems, a journey, an adventure with a close friend as a shield and light as a bond. When the wind and sand blow away the lies, and when the necklace awakens the sleeping power, they will finally find their own salvation and bond while pursuing the truth.
