Description
Some heroes are chosen.
Others are cast aside.
Kirantha Lost has never truly belonged. Found as an infant in the snow and raised in an isolated village, she has always been different from everyone around her. The only nonhuman among her people, Kira has spent her life enduring suspicion, isolation, and whispered questions about what she really is.
She has never known the answer herself.
In a world scarred by an ancient war that shattered the World Tree and broke the ley lines, magic comes at a terrible cost. The only safe way to wield its power is by harvesting and refining magical cores from monsters. Every young adult must undergo a coming-of-age trial to discover their magical potential.
Kira’s trial changes everything.
When her magical core is declared dangerously deviant, she is banished without ceremony, forced to leave behind the only life she has ever known. Armed with little more than a destination she barely understands, she must cross monster-infested wilderness before winter closes in, relying on her courage, growing skills, and determination simply to survive.
But exile may become an opportunity.
As Kira uncovers new ways to harness magical beast cores, develops powerful crafting abilities, and slowly discovers the truth about her mysterious origins, she begins forging not only weapons and tools, but her own future. Along the way she encounters unexpected allies, new communities, and relationships that challenge everything she believed about acceptance and belonging.
Blending progression fantasy, crafting, monster hunting, slice-of-life storytelling, and slow-burn LGBTQ+ romance, Lost Mask delivers an engaging adventure filled with steady character growth, immersive world-building, and heartfelt moments alongside thrilling action.
Perfect for readers who enjoy progression fantasy, LitRPG-inspired worlds, magical crafting, found family, and character-driven fantasy adventures.
