In a world where the dead refuse to rest, the last remnants of humanity cling to survival within the crumbling walls of Ebonreach, the final stronghold against an unrelenting undead plague.
Once a revered warrior, Aldric Valen has spent years fighting the endless tide of horrors that claw at the gates. But when whispers of a dark force manipulating the undead emerge, he and his battle-hardened mage companion, Selene, embark on a perilous journey beyond the walls. Their quest: uncover the source of the outbreak and reclaim the hope that humanity has long abandoned.
As they traverse forsaken villages, haunted ruins, and cursed battlefields, the duo faces more than just the undead-traitors, warlords, and forbidden magic lurk in the shadows. The truth behind the plague is darker than they imagined, and the line between the living and the damned begins to blur.
When the final bastion falls, will there be anything left to save?

Dunmere was never meant to be a battleground. But when the village falls under the grip of a fanatic priest, Bastian and Kira are forced to flee. With nothing but a stolen map and a power Kira barely understands, they head for Carrowen, where they hope the Tidekeepers will help. But the world beyond Dunmere is cruel, and the things lurking in the dark are far older than any priest's magic. If they want to save their families, they'll need more than borrowed steel and desperation. They'll need to fight against a force that does not forgive and a woman who has not known mercy for centuries.
