Flames of Eternity

In the dying Cindered Realm, magic fades with each passing year and death comes early to those without wealth to buy life-extending spells. A street thief surviving day to day in the slums of Pyrevault stumbles on the impossible while fleeing city guards: the last living phoenix, its radiant flames promising eternal life to a world desperate for any hope. The creature is dying, its fire flickering, hidden in ruins that should be empty. The discovery brings a deadly price that makes the thief's previous troubles seem trivial. Hunted by dark sorcerers who want to consume the phoenix's essence for eternal life, the thief must protect the last hope of their dying world while learning to trust allies in a place where everyone has ulterior motives.
