In a distant future, Earth is long gone, and humanity’s last survivors have found refuge on the desolate planet of Selora. Genetically engineered and raised to serve, Kael Duskborne arrives in a world where memories are erased, free will is a distant memory, and every movement is dictated by an unyielding, unknown force. His mission: to harvest obsidian from the planet's cursed mines.
But Selora is no ordinary world. The land itself seems to pulse with a strange, sinister energy, and its creatures—ancient, primal, and deadly—lurk in the shadows. As he journeys through this harsh world, Kael begins to question everything he’s been told. Why is he here? What is the truth behind the planet’s dark past?
Silent whispers haunt the air, and warnings of an ancient, omnipotent force—the Silence—demand his attention. With his very life at stake, Kael must choose whether to accept the unspoken order of his existence or fight against the oppressive force that seeks to control him—and the planet itself.
In a world where nothing is as it seems, survival means navigating a web of lies, dark powers, and dangerous allies.

The curse was silent for a moment, as if it were considering the offer he'd made.

Varek waited, anticipation gnawing at him.

The boy stood and watched him, still unsure what he stumbled upon. His chance to run was long gone.

"I…I'm looking for my home," he said in a high-pitched, quiet voice.

He was so young. Varek couldn't even remember being a child anymore. He couldn't remember the life he'd had before entering the graveyard. It was all gone.

The child had so much of his life ahead of him.

And Varek was about to rip that away from him.

Am I really considering this?

Better than killing him, another part of him argued.

This might be our last chance, he realized.

One way or another, it had to be done.

The curse trembled around him, a formless presence that coiled in the empty spaces between the dead Titan bodies.
