Isaac Yeung has just completed his grueling five-year general surgery residency and one research year at Columbia University, but instead of feeling triumphant, he's utterly lost. Burned out and questioning everything he once worked for, Isaac makes a bold decision-to step away from medicine and return to his family's ancestral home, a remote temple nestled in the peaceful countryside of New Zealand.
Once a place of childhood wonder, the temple now holds the answers Isaac seeks about his future-or so he hopes. But as Isaac settles into his new life, his world is upended when he meets Aria Lau, a mysterious temple guardian with a shocking revelation: the ancient tales his grandparents once told him about demons and guardians are true. And now, a dark force is rising, threatening the world.
Drawn into a dangerous mission alongside Aria and a quiet high school student named Ethan Moreau, Isaac must confront his doubts and fears. Together, they unravel the mystery of an ancient evil and face a terrifying destiny. But in the process, Isaac discovers that his true calling might be far greater-and far more perilous-than he ever imagined.
This is a story about rediscovering one's purpose, battling inner and outer demons, and the bonds that form between unlikely allies. Can Isaac find the strength to protect the world-and himself-from the darkness closing in?
