Short synopsis
Before stars existed, there was an invisible force sustaining the very idea of existence — and the Core is a fragment of it. This energy feeds planets, shapes consciousness, and holds the memory of everything that has lived.
When malice begins to steal the Cores of entire worlds, Earth enters the list. In the chaos that approaches, the Core performs an act of universal preservation: it chooses a human heir with a genuine heart.
Reluctant though he may be, the boy realizes his will matters little against the fate that awaits — particularly when hunted by those who would stop at nothing to rip the power from within him.
