Nothing Ahead, Nothing Behind

The city fell in a single night.

There was no warning. No army lay at the gates.
The enemy emerged from beneath the streets.

In the chaos, two brothers were separated.

Lira was taken.
Taren was left for dead.

But he survived.

Now, as the city burns and war spreads across the continent, Taren is forced to grow up faster than any child should - trained by a nameless wanderer, a man who carries secrets as dangerous as the battles he avoids.

Meanwhile, Lira struggles to survive in a world where people are sold, fear never fades... and running away can be worse than staying.

But there is something worse than war.

Something that never dies.

And when these paths cross again...
not everyone will make it out alive.
