He wakes in a pool of blood.
His memories are fractured. The pain doesn’t stop.
Kyle is a cynical Baräthian wanderer who trusts his own judgment less than the battlefield. He should have died. Instead, he wakes bound and breathing, in the hands of the Kalimun : a hidden people who worship silence and Flow, the unseen currents shaping the world.
He isn’t being healed.
He’s being assessed.
His captor is an assassin: precise, cold, and unflinchingly efficient. She binds him with rope, but also with obligation. Between them stretches a tension that is fragile, lethal, and impossible to ignore.
They are not heroes.
Just two broken souls dragged into truths buried beneath layers of silence :
- a cursed sword,
- a pendant that hides too much,
- a force that feeds on what the world deems impure.
Join their journey into an unending mystery, where survival means connecting fragments of truth before they connect you first.
Where survival is never free.
