THE SHADOWBORN

When Remus and Romulus rise in Life and War, a third force awakens beneath the world. Damon — the Shadowborn — was not born but formed, shaped from the darkness that rushed in the night the twins were thrown into the river. Raised by silence and shadow, Damon grows into the most powerful being the realms have ever seen. But when he senses Remus’s awakening and Romulus’s descent, something inside him fractures — longing, jealousy, and rage twisting into unstoppable power. As the realms begin to bleed together, the twins reunite for the first time since childhood. Yet even together, they cannot stop Damon’s rise. The Shadowborn has awakened. And the world is beginning to break.
