The Fragile Balance (Angáraka #1)

For centuries, the people of Terria have lived under the iron rule of Angáraka, their former colony turned conqueror. Once victorious, Angáraka has reduced Terria to a desolate industrial wasteland, drained of resources, divided by borders, and ruled by tyranny. The air is toxic, food is scarce, and few live past forty.

But hope is not yet lost.

A rebel force, known only as VEX, has risen from the shadows. Fueled by fury and a hunger for freedom, they are determined to break the chains of Angáraka’s oppressive rule. VEX knows the stakes are high, and they have one to see Angáraka fall in flames and restore life to Terria.

As the gods remain silent and the Balance of power tilts toward darkness, the Terrians’ only weapon is their unbreakable will. With the spark of rebellion igniting across a devastated world, the fight for freedom becomes more than a struggle—it becomes Terria’s last hope. In a world where destiny is forged by the brave, the fate of two planets will be decided. Rated '2/5 - Behind closed doors' for steam/spice/heat level.
