In the rain-drowned city of Varamir, where magic festers in alleyways and justice is sold to the highest bidder, Kael Draven makes his living hunting what others pretend doesn’t exist. Once a loyal Witchfinder of the Inquisition, he now works alone, chasing whispers of rituals and bodies marked with runes that should have died out a century ago.
When the daughter of a wealthy merchant is found dead, her veins blackened and her skin branded with a forbidden sigil, Kael is pulled into a mystery that ties back to the darkest chapter of his own past—the Crimson Sigil, an order thought long vanished.
His only lead is Seren Kaelith, a defiant survivor of that same order, burdened by secrets and hunted by a being known only as the Ash King. Together, they uncover a conspiracy that stretches from the gutters of Varamir to the ruins of burned villages, where power is fed by blood and faith alike.
