Book II: Shadows & CursesIn the wake of the Shadow Realm's destabilization, Kael finds the cursed mark on his arm is no longer a death sentence but a key. It pulses with a connection to the newly freed Banshee Queen, a being of immense power whose sorrow once threatened to devour the world. To prevent the realms from collapsing into eternal twilight, Kael must journey into the heart of a weeping city built on forgotten graves and decipher the truth behind his family's ancient pact. He will learn that some curses are not shackles, but calls to remember what was lost, and that the only way to save the future is to willingly shoulder the ghosts of the past.
