Sixteen-year-old Henry Vale never believed in fate—until the forest called his name. Drawn by a pull he can’t explain, Henry stumbles upon the ruins of a forgotten civilization and awakens a sentient relic known as the Warden—an ancient weapon forged to protect the world from the very force that once tried to erase it. When the Warden binds itself to him, Henry becomes its Custodian, heir to a legacy buried in myth. Haunted by visions of a world undone, he’s thrust into Arclight Academy, a secret order training those who guard the fragile balance between remembrance and oblivion. But something beneath the world is stirring: the Unmaking—a silence that devours words, memories, and meaning itself. As Henry learns to wield the Warden’s power, he uncovers the truth behind the Seven Gates, ancient seals built to imprison the Unmaking. Each one is failing. With the help of Mira Thorn, a rebellious bellkeeper who can hear the language of echoes, Henry must awaken the next gate before reality forgets how to exist. Yet the deeper he delves into the Warden’s secrets, the more he wonders— What if the relic didn’t choose him to save the world... but to end it?
