When the three Kingdoms hold a meeting with the courts in their Regions, claiming a prophecy was delivered to each, whispers start to stir. Wrathborn bloodlines? Coming to the Realm? A war brewing? In a Realm where Sulken - creatures who feed on souls, and are both elemental and eternal - rule, and are shaped by the Gods to punish and preserve, begin to shift, things start going wrong. Prophecies speak of this and that. Wars and ruins. Conflicts and hidden bloodlines. Creatures of death, and destruction that even the dark can't escape. Now the Allseers - keepers of the Gods' oldest truths - have named a threat. The wrathborn bloodlines stir with power none are prepared for. Ayren, a Sulken with a divine power, is on the run with his family and another. Another prophecy shows, and he's sent to the Dark Court for protection. Then he meets Draxien, the war-born Leader bound to shadows... and to Ayren in ways neither understands. Their bond is unnatural. Undeniable. And it may be the key to unraveling the truth from the prophecy. Because across the fractured Courts, a war brews not only for this Realm... but for the next if they're not careful. Not all written is truth. --- Some bloodlines were cursed. Others were erased. And some were made to burn the world down.
