In a world where survival depends on sacrifice, Orrin Vael has spent his life behind the crumbling walls of Karn Hollow where the outside world is feared, and those chosen for “Retrieval” are never meant to return. When Orri takes his grandfather’s place in the ritual, he is cast beyond the safety of stone and into a wilderness that feels less like a place… and more like something alive. But the Wild is not what he was taught to fear. As the truth behind the walls begins to unravel, Orri is forced to confront a reality far older and far more dangerous than anything his people believe. Because beyond the gates, something is watching. And it has already chosen him.
