Infos

Wrenched from the sea onto the black sands of Corvanna, Korrin remembers nothing-not his name, not his past. Only the instinct to conjure magic from fire and spice remains, a flickering ember in the vast darkness of his amnesia. He awakens to a world steeped in culinary sorcery, where warlords wield flavor as a weapon and chefs battle for ultimate dominion. Ensnared by the ruthless Lady Maravelle, Korrin's forgotten artistry transforms her pirates into a conquering force, fueling whispers of the legendary Sea's Grimoire, a forbidden cookbook said to hold the ocean's deadliest secrets.
As the islands brace for the Flavor Crown Tournament, a generations-old clash of culinary titans, eccentric masters of Corvanna's deadly cuisine converge. Kael, the gaunt alchemist, whose fermented concoctions ignite a warrior's bloodlust. Zephyr, the wizened sorceress, whose whisper-thin pastries, spun from moonsilk and laced with prophetic dreams, hide subtle, deadly poisons. And Gorok, the hulking brute, whose cannibalistic feasts bestow upon his warriors the very memories of their devoured foes.
Amidst the escalating tensions, fragments of Korrin's past begin to surface-glimpses of a world consumed by a tempest of salt and fire, a cataclysm he fears he unleashed.  The enigmatic spice merchant, Shelly Ramirez, appears at his side, offering cryptic warnings about the true nature of his power and the ancient pact he made with a malevolent sea god.
Forced to unleash his full potential, Korrin creates dishes that defy comprehension-dragons sculpted from spiced ice, illusions conjured with star anise and sea salt, and broths that whisper prophecies of a drowned world.  But as he ascends, Maravelle's paranoia intensifies, pushing him closer to the heart of his terrifying potential and the devastating truth of his forgotten identity.
Torn between reclaiming his past and forging a new destiny, Korrin must choose: embrace the tide of his power and solidify Maravelle's reign, risking the cataclysm that haunts his fractured memories, or defy his fate, shatter the cycle of culinary warfare, and forge a new path for Corvanna, a path seasoned with hope instead of ash.  The fate of the islands rests on the edge of his blade... and the tip of his knife.
