The Pirate and the Augur

Some visions don't haunt the future.

They destroy the people forced to carry them.

When twelve-year-old Orlu Olesk sees his parents die before it happens, he learns the future isn’t something you survive—it’s something you carry.

Three years later, Orlu refuses to speak, terrified of the visions that once failed to save the people he loved and the monsters that terrorized their quarry town. His older brother Kassel has taken a different path—turning grief into violence, fighting for coin and control in a world that offers little of either.

But when Orlu glimpses a new future—one where Kassel leaves him behind—he’s forced to confront the very power he fears.

As whispers of gods, beasts, and ancient forces begin to stir, the brothers are pulled into a brutal journey across a fractured world—where prophecy is unreliable, power comes at a cost, and every choice risks making the future worse.

To survive, Orlu must decide when to act… and when to let fate unfold.

And Kassel must decide what he’s willing to become to protect the only family he has left.

Because some futures aren’t meant to be changed.

And some are.
