Edge of the Fallen Star

In a lawless frontier land, young bladesman Kade Shen witnesses his family slaughtered and his home razed by the ruthless warlord Darius Vane, leaving only his father’s broken saber as a legacy. Driven by a vow of vengeance, Kade sets out to hunt Vane, the shattered blade his last tie to his kin—and a relic of the fallen Starfall Order, an ancient brotherhood that once guarded the region with honor and balance.

Along the way, Kade crosses paths with Lila Mei, a sharp-witted wanderer with hidden scars. She saves him from bandits but mocks his recklessness, forging an uneasy alliance. At the anvil of Old Wei, a grizzled blacksmith, the saber is reforged into a gleaming weapon, and Wei reveals its Starfall origins tied to Kade’s father, Jian—a warrior of the order who died thwarting Vane’s betrayal. Lila’s silence hints at her own dark history with Vane, a truth she keeps veiled.

Tracking Vane, Kade and Lila clash with his Red Talon gang, brutal enforcers of his will. Through blood and grit, Kade evolves from a vengeful son into a disciplined fighter, his blade honed by Wei’s teachings. A mysterious figure, the Crow, emerges with a warning: Vane seeks a Starfall relic—an orb that bends fate—tied to Kade’s bloodline. Guiding them to the Starfall ruins, the Crow unveils the orb, where Kade sees Jian’s final stand, sacrificing himself to protect it for his son.

But Lila, cornered by Vane’s trackers, betrays Kade to save his life, handing him over while plotting her own escape. Captured and tortured, Kade breaks free, retreating to the wilds—weaponless, he forges his body into a blade, resilience born from loss. Lila fights her way back, confessing she once enforced Vane’s will but fled his cruelty, and together they rally a band of outcasts for a final assault.

Storming Vane’s stronghold, Kade and Lila confront chaos—the Crow, last of Starfall, dies shielding the orb, entrusting Kade with its legacy. Under an eclipse, Kade duels Vane, blades flashing as the orbs’ powers collide. Triumph comes at a cost: Kade slays Vane, then destroys the orbs and saber, ending Starfall’s reign to bury its curse forever.

Ten years later, Kade roams the frontier as a legend—the “Starman”—a staff-wielding protector, tales of his eclipsed victory growing mythic. He drifts, aiding the helpless, leaving Lila to her own path of freedom. Starfall’s glory fades, but its spirit lives in Kade—a man remade, vengeance spent, a quiet guardian of the wild.
