Characters
Swan
Let me introduce you to Swan, an archivist unlike any other.
Tall and ethereal, with glowing skin and eyes the colour of twilight, Swan is a striking presence in the Cross-Dimensional Archives and Translation (CDAT). Her voice, as calming as it is mesmerising, carries a weight of knowledge and grace that few can match.
As the daughter of Councillor Velandra, head of Orthica’s ruling council, Swan grew up in the shadow of power. But she chose a quieter path—decoding ancient texts, translating forgotten languages, and piecing together the stories of dimensions long lost.
Yet Swan’s story is more than that of an archivist. Beneath her calm demeanour lies a spark of something greater, a connection to an ancient legacy—the Sword Maidens, whose forgotten strength may hold the key to Orthica’s survival. Swan’s journey is just beginning, and it will test every skill, every bond, and every truth she holds dear.
Sophie Adler
Let me introduce you to Sophie Adler, a woman living an ordinary life—until she discovers she’s anything but.
Sophie works at a dull logistics firm in London, always on the go and focused on staying busy. Her only constant companion is her pet budgie, Trevor. Sophie has learned to shut away her feelings when things get too overwhelming, living a life she thinks is under control.
What she doesn’t know is that she’s the Last Sword Maiden, a legacy that’s about to surface, pulling her into a world she never imagined. Sophie’s hidden strength will be tested, and everything she thought she knew about her life will be turned upside down.
