In a world where the gods are long gone, only their cursed relics remain—twisting anyone desperate enough to use them.
Vael never wanted power. He only wanted to survive. But when his village is destroyed by a warlord wielding a relic of the old gods, he’s left with nothing… except a choice: die broken, or take up the artifact that calls to him by name.
The moment he touches it, everything changes. The gods didn’t vanish—they were betrayed. And something older, something worse, is beginning to stir beneath the ruins they left behind.
As the power eats away at his mind, Vael must decide what he's becoming. Because in a world like this, monsters aren’t born.
They’re made.
