Crescent Kingship

There is an ancient prophecy circulating on the Crescent Continent: when the crown of stars returns to the throne, the lunar eclipse will turn into a blessing, and the reborn Cartier will never set like the bright moon. Sixteen-year-old Adrian never thought that this nursery rhyme would be related to him. Until that night of the bloody new moon, the rebels' iron hooves broke through the palace, and his father fell in front of him, and he couldn't even lift his sword due to the "lunar eclipse curse". With the crown of starlight and full of shame, he began his journey into exile. In three years, he traveled to every corner of the kingdom: learning to survive in the slums, honing his sword skills in the gladiatorial arena, and looking for ways to break the curse in ancient ruins. He got acquainted with the exiled elf scholar, the orc warrior who lost his tribe, and a group of companions who were also abandoned by fate. They formed the "Knights of the Crescent", which frightened their enemies. They attacked on the night of the new moon, using the enemy's contempt as the most deadly weapon. When Adrian led his army back to the royal capital, what awaited him was the Duke of Darkmoon's 100,000 troops, and an even more terrifying truth: the lunar eclipse curse was not a curse at all, but a selection that lasted for thousands of years. Only the monarch who can still protect the kingdom on the night of the new moon is qualified to receive the final gift left by the Moon God - the ancient power that is enough to make the Kingdom of Cartier rise as the overlord of the Crescent Continent. This is a huge gamble with fate. When the new moon rises again, Adrian will face his greatest weakness, and he will either become a wise king for the ages or be forever doomed.
