In a world where magic is long dead. The cursed, centuries old survivors of a failed experiment, hated, hunted, and scattered across the world of Caelderon. Their stories unfold in many threads: Arthur and Erren, banished from the paradise of the Evergreen and pursued by the merciless druids. Calvin, a trusted courtier of famine stricken Redridge, entangled in fragile alliances and a dangerous marriage pact. Rue, answering Arthur's forbidden summoning spiral and crossing vast distances to find the others. Lastly, Kairn, fighting for dominance in Eldea, the city of innovation and order. Yet, as their fates draw them toward the looming dark tower. A new terror emerges, a method of extracting magic from the cursed themselves, turning their existence from one of being hunted to be slain. Into one of being hunted to be exploited. Their overlapping stories become a single question: will the cursed remain scattered relics of a broken past, or rise together to defy a world that would call them monsters?
