Every soul is born with light. Except his. Kael came into the world as an impossibility: a child of utter darkness in a kingdom where inner light defines your worth. Rejected, feared, and alone, he works among graves, hiding a power that feeds on despair. When the Veil between worlds tears open and shadow creatures invade, King Aldric blames Kael. Hunted, Kael flees with two unlikely allies: Lyra, a light mage ordered to execute him, and Fenris, a wolf-shifter with a bloody past. To repair the Veil, they must find five elemental shards. But a darker presence whispers from the Void—the Hollow King, an ancient grief begging for release. And he wants Kael as his vessel. As the line between hero and monster fades, Kael faces an impossible choice: embrace the abyss and unmake a broken world, or become the darkness that holds it together. Some are born to shine. He was born to shadows. And shadows will save what light cannot.
