Kei Takahashi vanished without a trace, leaving his high school life - and his girlfriend, Nadia - behind. What no one knew: his disappearance was no accident, but a calculated step into the shadows of the Yakuza.

Ten years later, he returns: older, changed, and carrying secrets too dangerous to reveal.

Some pasts refuse to stay buried. Some promises can never be kept. And some truths are better left in the dark.

What's worse than a past that comes back to haunt you? One you don't even know. When Edin awoke in a stranger's bedroom, having forgotten everything but his name and age, he did not expect to be thrown into an ongoing war. As a gifted - a rare group of humans born with special abilities - Edin is forced to become a guardian and protect the realm of Idelhen from monsters, lest mankind fall prey to darkness. Arden Mægenstern, Idelhen's strongest guardian and the last stand against a sorcerer more powerful than most gifteds combined, takes Edin under her wing and works with him to restore his memories. A fateful encounter with a beast deems Edin worthy of becoming a guardian, and his sheer power promises an end to the sorcerer's reign of terror. However, just as he's thrust onto the battlefield, he realizes that there are other monsters than the feral creatures he's forced to slay. And they're waging a war within him. As Edin's inner demons and obscure past creep out of the shadows, the world wonders whether he really is Idelhen's next hope or its demise in disguise. Only blood will tell.
