What she observes leaves her with more questions than answers, and one possibil
from Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories Rome gave Caius Regillus everything a commander needs: discipline, structure, purpose, and an enemy. Anturia has given him none of those things. As the Ninth Legion trains in an unfamiliar world, Caius struggles to maintain the order that once defined both him and his men. His soldiers can still march. His officers can still command. The discipline Rome forged into them remains. But for the first time, Caius doesn’t know what victory is supposed to look like. And while one unexpected woman grows harder to ignore, his most trusted officer notices something

As Kylah observes the twins more closely, she begins to recognize subtle contrasts that
from Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories Something happened on the platform that no one can explain. While thousands of newly arrived humans settle into their lives on Baliya Island, Bryn and Dahlfia quietly isolate a young woman whose actions defy everything they believe is possible.

from Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories Some forces do not need time to become dangerous. They arrive ready.

As thousands more follow, the scale of what the council has brought to Anturia becomes impossible to ignore. These are not frightened survivors waiting to be resc
from Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories The crisis on Baliya Island is over. The consequences are only beginning. With the Porta Segreta finally under their control, Bryn and the Council of the Wise face a discovery that changes everything they thought they knew.

The warriors of Che’el de Velg’lan descend upon the city with terrifying precision, ending fights that moments before seemed unwinnable. Yet victory brings few
from Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories Legends are not born in peace. As the battle for Teithia rages across streets, courtyards, and shattered strongholds, Kylah finds herself at the center of the chaos. Outnumbered, wounded, and driven by equal parts fury and determination, she becomes something more than a soldier in the eyes of those around her. A symbol. A story already taking shape before the battle is even over. But while victories are won in one part of the city, confusion spreads in another. Reports clash. Communications fail. Commanders fight blind. And every decision carries conseque
from Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories The first breach is only the beginning. As Bryn’s forces launch their attack to retake Teithia, the plan appears to be working. Gates fall. Armies move.

But while leaders debate strategy above ground, others move through shadows, tunnels, and forgotten paths beneath the city itself — where one wrong step could destroy everything befo
from Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories Some storms can be seen long before they arrive. Others are already upon you before you understand what they are. As forces begin to shift across Anturia, what once felt distant now moves with undeniable purpose. Old alliances are tested. New threats emerge. And the fragile balance holding everything together begins to fracture. For Kylah and those bound to the choices already made, there is no longer a question of whether conflict will come. Only when. And who will still be standing when it does. As paths converge and the weight of everything set in motio
from Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories In Alltud, nothing is forgotten. And nothing is judged lightly. After the trial in the desert, Kylah returns to a community that sees more than she expected and understands more than it reveals. Here, survival is not the end of the story. It is only the beginning of what comes next. As questions of justice, choice, and consequence rise to the surface, Kylah is forced to confront the deeper truths that shape Alltud itself: Who decides what a person deserves? What makes someone worthy of belonging? And what separates punishment from purpose? But in a place b
from Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories Not every victory feels like one. In the unforgiving expanse of the Plains of Du’Roi, Kylah follows a trail that leads her to the one confrontation she cannot avoid. What began as training has become something far more final. Out here, there are no witnesses. No rules. No second chances. But when the moment comes, what stands before her is not the enemy she expected. And what she is asked to do is not as simple as survival. As the line between hunter and hunted dissolves, Kylah is forced to confront a truth she cannot outrun: Strength is not always measure
from Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories Not all who wander the desert are meant to survive it. Some are meant to be changed by it. As Kylah’s journey through the Plains of Du’Roi pushes her beyond the limits of endurance, she finds herself on the edge of something she cannot explain, caught between pain and peace, reality and something far less certain. Drawn toward water where none should exist, she encounters a presence unlike anything she has known. Ancient. Watching. Waiting. But this is no simple refuge. And this is no ordinary being. As questions surface and answers remain just out of reac
from Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories Survival is only the beginning. In Alltud, survival must be earned. As Kylah begins her training within the hidden desert city, she quickly learns that strength alone will not be enough to secure her place among its people. Every lesson is a test. Every skill is a weapon. And every weakness is something the desert will exploit without mercy. But not everything can be taught. Some instincts must be uncovered. Some choices must be made. And some enemies are not placed before you by chance. As Kylah is pushed to her limits physically, mentally, and emotionall
from Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories Some stories are remembered. Others are recorded as they happen. For the first time, Kylah begins documenting her experience in real time, unsure if she will survive long enough for anyone to ever hear it. Exiled to the unforgiving Plains of Du’Roi, she is left with nothing but her instincts, her anger, and a voice guiding her from the shadows. A voice she does not recognize. A path she does not trust. And a desert that does not forgive. As the heat rises and the distance stretches endlessly ahead, survival becomes more than endurance; it becomes a test of
from Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories Leadership is not tested in moments of victory. It is tested in the choices no one wants to make.

Kylah is no longer just a question. She is a liability. As pressure closes in from all sides, Bryn and Dahlfia are forced to confront an impossible reality: protecting one of their own may cost them everything they are trying to build. And this time, there is no path th

Inside Che’el de Velg’lan, Bryn struggles to regain her strength while Dahlfia works to hold their fragile alliance together. But beyond their walls, something more dangerous is spreading. Rumors. Kylah stands at the center of them. Accusations surface. Loyalties are questioned. And with every report that arrives, the truth becomes harder to separate from the narrative being built around her. Bryn chooses
from Anturia Diaries Prequel Stories The war didn’t begin with a battle. It began with what no one chose to see. Beneath polished alliances and carefully maintained order, cracks are already spreading. In the aftermath of Teithia’s fall, leaders maneuver behind closed doors, shaping a future no one will admit out loud. Bryn Tal and Dahlfia carry the weight of what they set in motion while other forces move just out of reach, tightening their hold across Anturia. Every message carries risk. Every alliance comes with a cost. And Kylah’s fate is already in motion. She doesn’t know what it will de

And Bryn Tal walks through a Teithia she no longer recognizes. When the council calls an emergency peace meeting framed as reconciliation, but everyone knows what it really is—a trap.

And what happens next will decide whether the council survives the night or whether Teithia burns. This is the summoning
from Anturia Diaries Prequel Stories The council insists the situation is contained. Bryn Tal knows it isn’t.

And accountability is buried beneath procedure. But the truth stops being abstract when it walks into a councilor’s home. What Bryn discovers behind a familiar door shatters the illusion that this crisis can be managed quietly—and forces a choice between obedience and conscience. When the council choos
