In a fractured realm where ancient gods still whisper through rivers, forests, and stone, two unlikely companions become bound to the fate of the world. Eamon, a young man with an unyielding sense of justice but no place in the halls of power, is haunted by his family's broken legacy and drawn toward a destiny he barely understands. Fraya, a banished ward of the king addicted to a dangerous magical drug, carries secrets that could save or doom the last free city.
As rebellion stirs and an old darkness reawakens in the crumbling Pit of Olmeron, Eamon and Fraya are thrust into a struggle against corrupt lords, faltering gods, and their own divided hearts.
