Deep beneath the gleaming spires of Aethelgard, Kaelen Vance toils in the suffocating darkness of the Vaults, an Emberless outcast in a world fueled by divine Lumen magic. His only purpose: to shovel the ash of those who possess power, and to earn enough to save his dying sister. But when a chilling void-black mist bleeds from his skin, swallowing the very light around him, Kaelen discovers a terrifying, forbidden power stirring within his empty core. This isn't the golden fire of the High Houses; it's something ancient, hungry, and utterly destructive. Now, hunted by the Radiant Order and burdened by a secret that could shatter his world, Kaelen must confront the darkness he carries, knowing it could be his salvation or his damnation.
