Chael was forged in shadows, abandoned as a child, enslaved, and trained to kill. Whispers call him the Darkborn, a vessel of ultimate evil. But he refuses to be anyone’s weapon. With his undead wolf, Michik, at his side, Chael hides deep within the Western Forest, hoping his bloody past will never find him.
Fate has other plans. Demons rise again, old masters stir, and zealous cultists hunt for the Darkborn’s power. When messengers arrive bearing news of a friend long thought dead, Chael must choose: step into the world that fears and despises him, or let darkness consume it.
Every path leads to war, and Chael’s decision could either damn humanity or save it. The question is, who truly controls the dark?
