Worick Chamnie never expected his mundane life to change-until the day it was stolen from him. Transported to the world of Ambitus alongside countless others, he finds himself caught in a conflict far beyond his comprehension. With no way home and a strange power lurking beneath his skin, he is forced to survive in a world teetering on the edge of war.
Marked by a mysterious force and haunted by memories of his past, Worick sets out on a path of solitude, unwilling to trust but unable to ignore the growing storm around him. As he struggles against the darkness within and the forces that seek to control him, he slowly begins to form bonds with those who refuse to abandon him-even when he tries to push them away.
But something ancient stirs beneath the surface of Ambitus, a power long forgotten, waiting to awaken. And when it does, Worick may no longer have a choice in the fate he must face.
