Peace never lasts forever.
After the Silent Era, the gods begin to stir beneath the mountains - their whispers carried on the wind, their echoes twisting through the dreams of those who once served them.
When wolves start howling at dawn - when they shouldn't - the valley knows something is wrong.
Seungmin, the last scholar of the Hall of Echoes, is the only one who can translate the fragments left behind by the Silent Alpha and his Seer.
Changbin, commander of the Outer Ridge, is tasked to find the source of the cries echoing from the forbidden lands.
He expects a hunt.
What he finds is faith - fragile, human, and burning quietly in the boy who's forgotten how to pray.
The gods demand restoration.
The valley demands protection.
And between them stand two souls who must choose what kind of world deserves to survive.
Because every ending begins with a howl.
