In the ancient world of Orinthia, the gods once ruled with undeniable power, each controlling a domain that shaped the land and its people. But when the Great War between the gods shattered the heavens, the divine beings were sealed away, their essence scattered across the mortal realm. Only the legend of the Divine Twelve remains-a prophecy that speaks of twelve chosen mortals, each destined to inherit the power of a fallen god and restore balance to a fractured world.Liora, a humble healer from a remote village, has always felt like an outsider. Her magic, though strong, is unpredictable and wild, much like her spirit. When the gods’ powers begin to stir once more, Liora is thrust into the role she never sought. Marked by the symbol of an ancient god she doesn’t understand, she becomes one of the Divine Twelve-the reincarnations of the gods’ power.As the twelve heroes from different corners of the realm are called together, they quickly realize that they are not merely vessels for godly power-they are bound by fate to fulfill a task no one fully understands. The world is on the brink of collapse, and only by uniting the twelve divine heirs can they hope to restore the balance and prevent the return of an even greater evil: the vengeful force that caused the fall of the gods in the first place.Liora’s companions include a brooding prince with the power of war, a reluctant thief with the gift of shadows, a brilliant scholar who can bend time itself, and a fierce warrior whose heart holds the power of the sun. Together, they must journey to forgotten temples, battle ancient creatures, and uncover the truth behind the gods’ fall-all while navigating the growing tension between them. As the group bonds and their powers evolve, they begin to question if they truly are the saviors of Orinthia, or if they are merely pawns in a larger game that even the gods cannot control.The Divine Twelve are not just fighting to save Orinthia-they are fighting to survive the overwhelming power that courses through their veins. For every godly gift comes with a cost, and the more they wield their divine powers, the closer they come to losing their humanity.The Divine Twelve is an epic fantasy of power, destiny, and sacrifice. As Liora and her companions race against time to prevent the end of the world, they will face the ultimate question: Can a mortal wield the power of a god without losing themselves in the process? Or will they be consumed by the divine forces they are meant to control?
