All they saw when they looked at me was evil. And it was true, what they saw. But I saw the same thing in them. Since the age of seven, Sethander knew he was cursed. Declared evil by the Elders of his island's religious community, Sethander has endured years of monthly ceremonies to keep the darkness within him contained. Yet it still finds ways to manifest: in distant whispers, in the pain and suffering that follows him wherever he goes, and in nature, which responds to him in strange ways... ways that it shouldn't. As his fourteenth birthday approaches - the birthday he is not meant to survive - all Sethander dreams of is escaping his fate. When strange things begin to happen and his birthday ceremony is unexpectedly interrupted, Sethander finds himself thrust into a new world, forced to find his place in it. His dreams have been answered, but now, he finds himself grappling with the haunting memories of his past and struggling to adjust to his new surroundings. And when the evil within him is revealed to be something else entirely, he must come to terms with the possibility of something he never thought he would have: a future.
