The Forgotten Darkness
Centuries ago, the High Priest of Darkness was sealed away, his name erased from history, leaving behind only a chilling tale told to scare children into obedience. To everyone else, he is just a legend, a ghostly warning not to wander into the woods alone.
But when sixteen-year-old Lyra begins dreaming of a shadowed figure calling out to her, she becomes convinced he's real-and that he needs her help. Her visions guide her to symbols of ancient magic and stories of those who tried to find him and were lost to the darkness.
As memories start to fade in her town and shadows stretch longer every night, Lyra finds herself pulled deeper into the forgotten past of the High Priest. She's forced to question if freeing him could bring peace-or if she's risking everything to unchain a nightmare.
Some stories are buried for a reason. Will Lyra find the strength to face the darkness, or will she become just another forgotten soul?
