Betrayed and hunted, a reluctant heir to a dying kingdom must embrace the fire in his blood and claim a legendary weapon before predators and ancient gods plunge the world into darkness.

When ruthless invaders descend upon his city and something long-buried stirs beneath the streets, Asher’s life is shattered. Forced into exile and pursued by enemies at every turn, he must gather scattered allies and confront the primal forces rising to consume the land.

But in a realm where loyalty shifts like the wind and predator lords scheme in the shadows, survival demands sacrifice. A lost relic bound to his bloodline holds the key to uniting his people — though seizing it may cost him everything.

As ancient powers awaken and old feuds reignite, the line between friend and foe blurs. The fate of the realm hangs by a thread, and only those who dare to defy the darkness will endure.
