In the isolated village of Reinmar, nestled beside the edge of an ancient, whispering forest, Elian wants only one thing: to be forgotten. Marked by a tragedy that left him an orphan and haunted by nightmares, he believes he is cursed and tries to live unnoticed, far from the prying eyes of others.
But during the annual festival of the goddess Lyrayna, a single wish, whispered with a desperate need for truth, changes everything. Elian unwittingly sends a flare into a world he never knew existed and realizes that something ancient and angry has answered his call.
He isn't cursed. He is marked. Hunted by the angry gaze of a dead god and sought by merciless hunters who will stop at nothing to uncover his secret. Guided by the mysterious warrior, Serafima, Elian must make an impossible choice: stay and condemn the only home he has ever known to destruction, or walk a path of no return.
Can he escape the echo of the god before it consumes everything he loves?
