A condemned man dies without a shadow, whispering a cryptic warning directly to Kael Varyn, a seemingly ordinary boy whose world shatters in an instant. When royal soldiers storm his home, Kael is thrust into a hidden lineage, discovering his mother guarded ancient secrets and his father knows far more than he ever let on. Forced into a subterranean chamber, Kael awakens a power he never knew he possessed, a power that marks him as the heir to a forgotten war and alerts the very kings who have suppressed the truth for centuries. Now, with his father's life hanging in the balance and an ancient entity as his guide, Kael must confront a destiny tied to gates that hold unimaginable darkness. Can he master the power within before the Crown hunts him down, or will his awakening unleash something far more terrifying than any king?
