The Lighthouse Keeper's Toll: A Myranth Cycle

On the windswept cliffs of Myranth, where phosphorescent waves crash against jagged rocks, stands a solitary lighthouse. Its beacon, kindled by Veyra, the weathered keeper, is not a guide for ships, but a lure for heroes. For generations, she has unknowingly fed a sinister cycle, drawing those marked with cryptic sigils – the same sigils etched into her own skin – to their watery graves. The whispers of the fallen haunt her, their mournful cries woven into the fabric of the sea.

When the *Sea Serpent* wrecks beneath the cliffs, Kristy Keller, a young cartographer bearing the fatal markings, survives. Her thirst for knowledge ignites a desperate alliance with Veyra to unravel the lighthouse's deadly secret. Together, they uncover cryptic inscriptions and dreamlike machinery within the echoing chambers, revealing a horrifying truth: the lighthouse manufactures heroes, weaving the dying dreams of the sacrificed into new generations of "chosen ones" destined to fight the encroaching Blight – a creeping corruption twisting the fabric of Myranth.

Their quest intersects with Elías Thorne, a grieving fisherman whose brother was claimed by the rocks. Elias recognizes the sigils on his own son, Lucian, and his simmering distrust of Veyra ignites, mirroring Myranth's struggle: accept a manufactured destiny or fight for freedom?

As the Blight intensifies, twisting landscapes and fracturing reality, Kristy and Veyra delve into Myranth's shadowed past, where a desperate bargain was struck with a cosmic entity. This pact transformed the people of Myranth into fodder for an insatiable hunger, their despair fueling the entity’s power. The whispers intensify, revealed as the fragmented consciousnesses of the sacrificed, trapped within the entity's grasp. One voice, that of Amara Blackwood, a keeper from a past generation, offers a glimmer of hope: a way to rewrite the ritual, to transform the lighthouse from an engine of despair into a beacon of genuine hope.

With the Blight closing in, and Lucian's life hanging in the balance, Veyra must choose: perpetuate the cycle or risk shattering Myranth's manufactured hope. Their harrowing race against time culminates in a desperate battle against the entity itself, a fight for the very soul of Myranth. Can they rewrite the ritual, forge true heroes, and break free from the lighthouse keeper’s deadly toll, or will they become the next
