The Kruul King burns the world to ash, and his Archons leave nothing but poisoned earth in their wake. To stop the slaughter, three desperate heroes must journey into the Shadowfern—lands where the ground itself decays beneath your boots and reality frays at the edges. They need a guide who knows the poisoned paths. They find him in Snowdrift: Thal, a giant of few words who has walked these lands longer than memory serves. But the only road to the Shadowfern runs through the Empyrean Spine—mountains forged from ancient sacrifice, where dragon-magic still lingers and the fog forces travelers to confront what they've buried deepest.Nyra carries an axe forged from grief and a rage that has never cooled. Luken wields power he doesn't fully understand, magic that answers to something darker than his will. Valen fights with the desperation of a man who has already lost everything once. Together, they follow a legend who may be their only hope—or the catalyst for something far worse. Because some oaths were never meant to be broken. Some doors were never meant to be opened. And in the spaces between worlds, ancient forces are stirring that make the Kruul King look like a passing shadow. Some journeys don't end in glory. They end in sacrifice. This one ends in blood.
