Night bound

Every two years, the government sends teenagers to die.



Randomly selected between the ages of 16 and 18, they are forced into the Abyss Trials — a brutal survival mission inside a dimensional fracture swarming with nightmarish creatures.



Kael Noire, a 17-year-old insomniac orphan haunted by loss and unknown voices only he can hear, is chosen for the next Abyss Trial, a government-sanctioned sacrifice disguised as a military draft. With an 90% mortality rate, it’s a death sentence for most—or a rebirth for the rare few who survive.



Defying all odds, Kael survives the trial and awakens the abilities of an ancient being known as Nyx, the primordial goddess of night.



Now bound to a power older than the stars, Kael becomes one of the Awakened—elite soldiers humanity depends on to push back the horrors of the Abyss and the countless Rifts spreading across the world.



But power always comes with a price, one that might be too steep for Kael.
