In the ash-choked ruins of the Blightlands, where forgotten gods whisper from shattered temples and crimson moons watch from broken skies, mercenary Silas Mar takes a blood-bound contract he can’t refuse. His task: escort Virelle — a sharp-tongued, half-demon woman with cursed blood and more secrets than scars — across a land that chews up the living and spits out the dead.
But nothing about this job is what it seems. Their journey will drag them through haunted cities, unraveling oaths, vengeful memories, and ancient horrors that refuse to stay buried. As Silas and Virelle inch toward the Hollow Coast — and the door that screams beyond it — they’ll uncover the truth behind a forgotten pact, one written in blood, betrayal, and names that were never meant to be spoken.
The only thing more dangerous than the creatures hunting them... is the price of keeping their word.
