What would you do if you discovered your existence was a mistake... and that every time you used your powers, the universe erased a little more of you?
Kael Arcanis awakens in a black crystal cell, with no memories and a cursed seal burning on his chest. A voice whispers in his mind:
"Steal the Guardian's name if you wish to live."
But when Kael obeys—when he steals his first power—he discovers the terrifying truth:
The Paths of the Eclipse are not simple abilities. They are fragments of a dead god, and every time he uses one, he pays with his memories.
Now, haunted by his own failed versions—distorted copies that insist "there can only be one"—Kael must:
Discover the truth behind the Seal of Oblivion that damns him.
Face himself, literally, in a city where mirrors reveal his past and future sins.
Steal forbidden powers, even if it means ceasing to be human.
And when he meets Lirya of the Black Archive—the silver-haired woman with mercury tears who appears in his visions—he must decide:
Is she his savior... or the one manipulating him into the ultimate weapon?
