Chrysalis: Vol I

Drama! Danger! Nightmares! Banter and comfort. Reunions! Romance? A realm where magic and science coexist. And a group of loveable weirdos who have been through rough times but learn to support one another. Welcome to Chrysalis~ The first in a series, Chrysalis takes readers on a science fantasy adventure taking place in the magical realm of Ielora. Two of Ielora's territories have been at war for some time—Yuneira-Su and Asteria. We meet our main characters in Asteria, learning how war and related tragedies have shaped their lives and the world they live in. Delving into these loveable characters' psyche... Follow the group as they face their own personal demons and support one another, all the while embarking on a journey filled with its own dangers and complications. And there's this nagging feeling... Something isn't quite right. As they press on, they start to realize, things aren't as they seem. There is so much they have to uncover and learn about the world they live in. There is so much more at stake than they could fathom. Mourning the loss of their older brother and haunted by memories of their past, Lumella first meets us with an attempt on their own life. Saved by a neighbor/ soon-to-be best friend, they learn to be more vulnerable and surround themself with caring people. However, there's this hazy feeling pulling at them more and more. If they reach for it, it only shies away, leaving them with further concerns they can't quite vocalize. Tangled in this ever-branching journey alongside Lumella, is Maevis, the prince of Asteria. The king has ordered him to retrieve the celestial power from a thought to be untouched moon shard, and thus, he and his companions embark on this adventure. New mysteries and complications meet them at each turn of the journey, from discoveries that contradict all they know to a surprise attack launched on their very home. Will they succeed in this mission, protecting those they love, and cherish the sunlight? Or will they trip over these unexpected turns, finding themselves so tangled and lost that all light is blotted out?
