Fractured Truths

Five are summoned Five are chosen. None are meant to survive. When Alethia Riven Duskryn is dragged from exile by a creature of shadow and delivered to a crumbling citadel, she is forced into an uneasy alliance with four others, each feared for what they can do. A king on the brink of collapse has given them a single task: find the Ereborne before it destroys the realm. But the deeper they search, the more the truth fractures. Bound by secrets and hunted by something they cannot outrun, the five are pushed to their limits: through broken ruins, shifting shadows, and truths better left buried. Trust splinters. Loyalties twist. And some betrayals cut deeper than any blade. TRUTH IS NOT BROKEN. IT IS BURIED.
