Culled in shadow, a hidden fate awakens, and the destined must rise...or fall. Haunted by the dark fate of the realms, Pavan cannot escape the shadow that calls to him-ancient, relentless, and hungry to claim him. Its whispers coil through his soul, threatening to drag him into an abyss. Yet along the razor's edge between ruin and redemption, a choice still remains: surrender to the shadow that calls him by name¿ or rise against it to save those ensnared within its cruel and unyielding magick. Will Pavan defy the fate that hunts him, or will he become the very darkness he was meant to destroy?
