When a mysterious illness known as the Black Hunger begins to spread across the land, Nanì finds himself entangled in a destiny far greater than his own. Drawn into court intrigues, rebel plots, and forbidden prophecies, Nanì must journey across kingdoms where mythical beasts rule the skies and sacred forests whisper with memories of gods. Beside him stand unlikely allies-his loyal sister Arlina, the fierce Lydia, and Wayne, a knight bound to duty but hiding his own secrets. But as Nanì's dreams grow darker and the voice of a forgotten deity calls his name, he learns that his gift is the key to sealing-or shattering-Evangelina's fate forever.
