A kingdom on the brink. A legendary evil returns. Two unlikely allies caught in the storm.
Pol, the heir of a fallen warrior lineage, longs to restore his family's honor. Stefan, an entrepreneur and fifth son of the quon, is one misstep away from ruin. When a shadowy assassin strikes at the heart of the realm, their fates become entwined.
Commissioned to a remote frontier village under siege, Pol and Stefan uncover a chilling truth: villagers are vanishing, and the horrors of legend are no longer myths. To survive, they must set aside their differences and unravel the secrets buried in the forest before an ancient darkness consumes them all.
Duty and sacrifice collide in an epic tale where bonds forged under fire may be the only thing standing between the realm and what's coming.
"This had everything I wanted — engaging from the first chapter, characters I believed in, and a world that left me wanting more." — BookBub reviewer
