In the unforgiving desert kingdom of Ashurah, shadows grow beneath a blistering sun, as secrets and ancient powers lie buried in the endless sands. Once united by a Covenant of Unity, this land has long since splintered under the weight of its own dark history, with old magic and betrayals woven into the very fabric of its dunes. Here, even the desert itself is treacherous, shifting beneath the relentless sun that watches over every hidden danger.
Jair, a lone hunter hardened by the desert's brutality and his own past, roams these hostile lands on a mission he can barely name-one fueled by loss, vengeance, and echoes of a world he no longer belongs to. Guided by fragments of memory and haunted by ghosts both real and imagined, Jair walks a fine line between light and shadow, searching for answers to mysteries that the sands would rather keep buried.
But in a place where each step stirs the remnants of ancient, forbidden magic and the whispers of seraphs and gods lost to time, Jair's path could lead him to salvation-or his own destruction. Beneath the unyielding sun of Ashurah, the lines blur between justice and revenge, truth and illusion, and the past refuses to remain silent.
