• Solstice Warriors: Master the sun and moon powers of Valere and Zale, using Eclipse Magic to face the Fleshmancer’s creations and protect their world.

Story and World:

Sea of Stars follows two Solstice Warriors, Valere and Zale, who were born with the ability to wield lunar and solar magic. Together, they must combine the powers of the sun and moon to create Eclipse Magic, the only known force capable of stopping the terrible creations of The Fleshmancer, an evil alchemist. Their journey crosses a shared universe filled with original characters, island landscapes, ancient mysteries, friendship, unexpected twists, and a world where exploration is as important as the battles themselves.
