In a kingdom where light itself is rationed, shadows have become the true rulers.
For centuries, the realm of Veyrith survived beneath the protection of the Eternal Flame — a sacred fire said to keep the ancient darkness imprisoned beyond the borders of the world. But when the Flame suddenly dies without warning, the kingdom is thrown into chaos. Cities vanish beneath unnatural night, whispers crawl through the streets, and creatures once confined to myth begin to hunt again.
Kael Arden, a disgraced royal guard haunted by a deadly failure, discovers a terrifying truth: the Flame was never extinguished — it was stolen.
