The Forgeborn Chronicles

The world ended not with conquest — but with fire.

In the dying days of the war with Rome, Hannibal Barca discovers something buried in the hills of Iberia — a relic not made by human hands. It hums with power. It promises victory. But it awakens a judgment older than empires.

The sky burns. The Earth falls silent.

Two thousand years later, the Forgeborn emerge from beneath the ruins — children of ash, memory, and myth. Led by Kaela Embermantle, they seek not just survival… but reclamation.

The Forgeborn Chronicles is a mythic short story about the beginning of a new age — forged in stone, tempered by loss, and lit by the last embers of a broken world.
