Hated for his blood. Needed for his strength.
Adduin of Aris keeps his head down, does his duty, and asks for nothing in return. But when a seemingly simple mission ends in bloodshed, he uncovers a threat believed long buried.
Blamed for bringing danger to their shores, the villagers seize their chance to exile him for good.
Adduin sets out with a strange dark stone tied to powers he does not understand. Whispers of war spread across the kingdom of Mozketa, and he soon finds the land threatened by forces wishing to unleash chaos.
To survive, Adduin must uncover the truth behind the power awakening within, and decide who he truly is:
The hero the kingdom needs-
Or the monster the world already believes him to be.
