For a thousand years, the Mezniks fought a merciless war against the Vandakors-led by the iron hand of Emperor Roghenn Zarohda. Then came Kye Naan: a young, untested leader who ended the bloodshed with a single act. Armed with a weapon of unknown origin-the Scepter-Kye Naan obliterated the Vandakor forces without losing a single Meznik life. The weapon's power was absolute. None dared question it. Everyone feared it. In the decades that followed, peace took root. The Paradigm was born-an alliance uniting all nations, even the once-ruthless Vandakors. Yet beneath this uneasy harmony, whispers of the Scepter's true origin persisted, and how Kye Naan was able to control such power. The truth about the Scepter soon becomes evident. Now, a forgotten cult stirs. The Espirattu, devoted to an ancient, soul-devouring entity known as the Dakkara, have risen from obscurity. Their purpose is irrefutable: reclaim the Scepter and nourish their god. Kye Naan vanishes-leaving behind questions and confusion. Fear spreads as the Paradigm begins to fracture. Some believe he was taken. Others claim he fled. But all sense the arrival of the dark storm the Dakkara is forming. To uncover the truth, his closest allies must place their lives on the line and confront the secrets Kye Naan buried-and the darkness threatening the peace the world had cherished. Because, should Kye Naan return, he will not only have to battle the darkness threatening the world... He will have to confront the secrets he so desperately tried to conceal-and the demons he fights within himself.
