Ignatius-Valdis: The Prequel [Part I]
A DEMONE WITHIN. AN UNKNOWN ENEMY. A DEADLY THREAT.
Gothalia Ignatius-Valdis, burdened by a curse and shrouded in animosity, possesses the potential to become the greatest asset to her homeland. Within the clandestine realm of the Fire Reserve, a subterranean nation known as New Icarus thrives, housing extraordinary beings known as Excelians who wield superhuman abilities and command the elements. Unfortunately, Gothalia's ill-fated existence stems from her inheritance of unstable élanocytes, known as délanocytes, a genetic trait passed down from the Valdis clan, rendering her an outcast from birth. Unexpectedly, the Grand Elders decreed her compulsory enlistment into the military, specifically the esteemed Centurion division. It is here that she encounters the heir of the Nero-Drausus Clans and the Crown Prince, forming an unlikely trio of companions. The Centurions, the Fire Reserve's vanguard and final bastion of defense, face a perilous existence, with their life expectancy significantly lower than the average Excelian. As the tranquillity of their homeland teeters on the brink of destruction, Gothalia finds herself compelled to take action. Yet, a lingering question haunts her thoughts: Will she choose to aid those who have caused her so much pain and suffering?
Not sure you should buy?
Gothalia Ignatius-Valdis was born cursed.
In the subterranean nation of New Icarus — a hidden world beneath the Fire Reserve where Excelians wield superhuman abilities and bend the elements — the Valdis bloodline carries a dangerous secret: unstable élanocytes called délanocytes. Marked from birth, Gothalia grows up an outcast, blame and animosity shaping every step of her life. Yet the Grand Elders’ decree forces an impossible choice on their society: she must serve. Enlisted against her will into the legendary Centurion division, Gothalia soon finds herself at the heart of New Icarus’s last line of defense.
The Centurions ask for more than courage. They demand sacrifice. Life expectancy for these elite warriors is perilously short, and mortality is a constant companion. There, amid smoke-lit barracks and training grounds tempered by elemental power, Gothalia forms an uneasy bond with two unexpected allies: the scion of the Nero-Drausus Clans and the Crown Prince himself. Together the trio stands at the crossroads of heritage, power, and betrayal.
As whispers of annihilation gather at New Icarus’s gates and the Fire Reserve trembles, Gothalia faces an unforgiving choice. Will she wield her volatile gift to protect a homeland that has branded her enemy? Or will she let the embers of resentment kindle a different fate?
Perfect for readers who love high-stakes fantasy, morally complex protagonists, and richly imagined subterranean worlds, Ignatius-Valdis: The Prequel [Part I] delivers:
A dark, atmospheric origin story that sets the stage for epic conflict.
A unique magic system built on elemental command and genetic peril.
Complex character dynamics — loyalty, duty, and resentment collide.
Tense military drama as a fractured nation braces for destruction.
