Haunted by a tragic past and hunted for a power he can't control, Ryden is thrust into a struggle to unite a fractured realm. As he's drawn back to Lucien, his first love and the radiant bearer of the Sun, Ryden discovers his destiny is tied to forbidden research, lost sacrifices, and the looming threat of the Obsidian Order. When love and loyalty collide, Ryden must face his brother Aiden and make an unthinkable choice-one that will break hearts, shatter the magical divide, and force the world to reckon with the price of freedom.

Kael has spent his life charting the night sky, searching for patterns in the chaos left by the skyquake that killed his sister. He trusts only in ink, parchment, and the cold certainty of the stars.
