Thornwick Starfall: Lament of the Deep

Long Raven Hair

Disclaimer/Author's note: This book is a work of fiction, born entirely from my imagination. The characters and events depicted are not intended to represent real people or events. If any character engages in morally or ethically questionable behavior, it is not meant to be romanticized or condoned in any way.

The narrative focuses more on the villain than the hero, delving into complex and darker themes. Reader discretion is advised. If you find any content troubling or problematic, I encourage you to stop reading.

To my readers, I ask for only one thing, be kind to the characters. They are flawed, just like all of us. They make mistakes, stumble through emotions, and learn at their own pace. They are not perfect, nor were they meant to be.

Hate towards them is unnecessary because, in the end, they are just reflections of the human experience, raw, real, and sometimes messy. If you disagree with their choices, that's fine, but please remember that this is a story meant to be enjoyed, not dissected with negativity.

This book contains intense and potentially disturbing material that may not be suitable for all readers.

It includes graphic depictions of blood, suicide, torture, horror elements, strong language, twisted or unhealthy romantic relationships, unrealistic and extreme behavior, themes of depression and psychological distress, and scenes involving attempted or partial murders.

Reader discretion is strongly advised, especially for those sensitive to violence, mental health struggles, or dark and disturbing subject matter.

Before you begin this book, I kindly urge you to read the first part of the series, Thornwick Starfall. The events, bonds, betrayals, and secrets that unfold there lay the very foundation of everything you are about to witness.

The magic, the academy, the rivalries, and the heartbreaks all begin in that first installment, and without it, the depth of these characters and their choices will not fully resonate.

To truly understand the weight of what is to come... the echoes of promises made beneath starlit skies and the shadows cast by ancient powers... start where it all began. Read "Thornwick Starfall" first, and then step into this next chapter of the storm.

The storyline and the narrative of this book are entirely my own creation. No one is permitted to repost, reproduce, translate, or edit any part of this story without explicit permission from the author. The story is solely owned by the actual author, @parkaaimin.

Chapter 1:

The rain was falling without mercy over Castle Rogers. It struck the tall stone walls and shattered against the stained glass windows like a thousand restless spirits knocking to be let in.

Thunder rolled across the dark sky, heavy and deep, shaking the ancient towers that had stood for centuries. The wind howled through the narrow corridors, slipping beneath doors and whispering along the marble floors.
