Overview

A god without divinity. A mortal boy with the power to awaken him. Together, they will change the fate of their world.

Born into the Celestial Zodiac Courts, the Fool was destined for greatness. But when the Shade Trials expose his lack of divine power, he becomes an outcast—shamed by the gods, abandoned by his family. Desperate for a place to belong, he flees to the mortal realm.

There, he meets Varyn, a boy whose presence stirs something long dormant within him. Together, they embark on a journey to uncover ancient secrets and challenge the gods who rule their world. But their bond awakens forces beyond their control, and as the lines between love and destiny blur, they must face a choice that could destroy the realm—or save it.

Echoes of Ember and Effigy is a sweeping fantasy retelling of the Fool’s Journey rooted in Tarot lore, where love, friendship, and self-discovery are tested against a backdrop of divine intrigue and dangerous prophecies.
