The shadow of an ancient evil stirs.
Creatures of legend walk once more.
And two unlikely heroes must rise—or their world will fall.
For three hundred years, the Five Realms have known peace. Until now.
Elodi never sought power. Yet after her father's sudden death, she is forced to lead her people—burdened by doubt, her authority questioned, and tested when a horror from the past storms Calerdorn's gates. But what she faces is only the beginning. Far greater dangers gather beyond her borders.
Toryn, a farmhand haunted by a legacy that could claim his life, is driven from his home and thrust onto a perilous path he never wanted. When a long-forgotten power reveals the truth of his bloodline, he must decide whether to flee his fate... or become it.
As old stories awaken and long-dormant forces move once more, their separate journeys reveal a deeper threat rising across the land—one the Archon refuses to face. Mountains lie between them. Leagues stretch long and perilous. And the cost of failure will be everything they hold dear.
