The trials were meant to be the end. They were meant to be the final test, the ultimate challenge to determine if those who survived were worthy of the power that the Mark bestowed. But in the aftermath of the trials, Lorna and her companions quickly learned that the true danger wasn't in the tests they had faced-it was in what they had unleashed. The Slumbering One had awoken, its presence seeping into the world, casting a dark shadow over everything they had fought to protect. Lorna's own body was now a vessel, her power intertwined with the ancient entities, and the lines between who she was and who she had become blurred in ways she couldn't yet understand. The Order, once thought to be the guiding force in the world of the trials, now revealed itself as something much darker-pulling the strings from the shadows, manipulating the very forces they had sought to control. Their intentions were far from noble, and their plans stretched far beyond the boundaries of the trials themselves. They sought to wield Lorna's power for their own nefarious purposes, and they would stop at nothing to get it. As Lorna and Elias struggle to come to terms with their newfound powers and the terrifying consequences of their actions, they are faced with a question: Is there any way to stop the horrors they've unleashed-or is it too late? The road ahead is fraught with peril, betrayal, and the constant fear that the world may be on the brink of destruction. And with every passing moment, the Slumbering One grows stronger-its influence spreading, reaching into places it was never meant to touch. The trials were just the beginning. What lies ahead is far darker than they could have ever imagined. This is only the beginning of a journey that will test their very souls, where the cost of survival may be greater than they ever feared. Welcome to The Arcane Trials: The Cursed.
