They say humanity cannot thrive without a guiding hand. Perhaps that's true-at least for the common folk, who suffered in the silence of vanished gods while those with power climbed to untouchable heights. Seven-year-old Caden Starhaven's life shattered the night his parents were killed in a supposed thief attack. Years later, he still wonders if it was truly random-or something far more deliberate. Orphaned and taken in by his distant uncle, Caden eventually earns a place at Lunaris, the most prestigious magical academy in the realm. Among friends and rivals, he begins to rebuild his life. But the world does not forget. And it does not forgive. Three hundred years earlier, there lived a man of few words-a rogue feared by kings and whispered of by nations. In his pursuit of the old gods, he uncovered a truth buried deep within Eonspire's roots. What he discovered remains hidden... but the last person who spoke with him insisted his words be delivered to the rulers of the Ten Arcane Kingdoms. He vanished soon after, leaving behind only a phrase- "In Perpetuum Noctis."
