A disgraced prince who murdered his father awakens with no memory and seven days until his execution. He has lived these seven days countless times, but this time, the world remembers what he forgets.
Abaddon wakes on a cold stone floor, nameless and without memory, with dried blood embedded beneath his fingernails.
A one-eyed jailer informs him that he is a bastard prince condemned to death for murdering his own father. He has seven days left before his execution.
Then he discovers a message carved into his cell in his own handwriting:
RUN.
Beneath the prison lies a hidden crypt, guarded by Veydr, a talking skull who remembers every death Abaddon has forgotten.
Beyond the Spire lies a ruined city where time stutters, streets shift without warning, and creatures made of fused bone prowl in the darkness.
At its center stands Serpent’s Gate.
And Mara.
A woman Abaddon has no memory of, yet finds himself willing to die for.
Each cycle ends the same way. Abaddon dies, the world shatters, and the reset begins again. But now, the cycles are leaving traces.
Tally marks appear in the ruins. Bloodstains remain where they shouldn’t. Fragments of memory resurface.
For the first time, Abaddon has proof that something survives the reset.
He has seven days to escape the Spire, survive the dead city, and uncover the truth behind his father’s murder.
This time, he will remember.
