The Ironwood Throne

The Ironwood Forest breathes, whispers, and remembers.  Its encroaching boughs consume not land, but memories, pushing humanity to the brink of a frozen oblivion. At its heart lies the Ironwood Throne, a gnarled fusion of nature and legend, promising dominion over this sentient wood.
Elian, exiled prince of frost-kissed Eldoria, is branded a traitor after a devastating attack shatters his family and steals his past. Haunted by fractured memories and burning for redemption, he seeks the throne, believing it holds the key to reclaiming his honor and saving his people.  The scent of pine and ice clings to him, a stark reminder of the frozen wasteland his home has become.
But the forest’s whispers are seductive, its stolen memories weaving a tapestry of doubt and despair.  In its depths, Elian meets April Hanson, a Warden of the Whispering Glade, her skin tinged green with the forest’s magic, her eyes reflecting an ancient wisdom.  Bound by duty to protect the forest’s delicate balance, April is drawn to Elian’s desperation, recognizing in him the echo of a prophecy that could unravel the peace her ancestors have guarded for generations.
Together, they journey into a realm of twisted roots and whispering leaves, pursued by the spectral Wraithwalkers, guardians of the forest's deepest secrets. They face the Whisperwood, a grove of maddening echoes, and encounter the Myconid Collective, a sentient fungal network whose cryptic messages offer both guidance and warning.  Elian’s quest becomes a battle for his very soul, as the forest seeks to consume not only his land, but his identity.
Meanwhile, in the frozen city of Eldoria, Elian’s sister, Elara, refuses to accept his guilt.  Her own quest for truth uncovers a conspiracy that reaches the highest echelons of power, mirroring Elian’s struggle against the encroaching darkness.
At the foot of the Ironwood Throne, a monstrous yet beautiful creation pulsating with dark energy, Elian confronts his shattered past and the forest’s vengeful spirits.  He must choose: succumb to the seductive whispers of power or forge a new path, one of sacrifice and redemption.  The fate of Eldoria, the balance of the world, rests upon his shoulders, and April, torn between duty and love, holds the key to his salvation.
