They said the Codex ended in silence.
They were wrong.
Beneath the ruins of the Grand Scriptorium, Kael Mereth - last descendant of the Arcani - unearths a fragment that still breathes. When he speaks its words, the world changes. The dead awaken. Hunger learns to think.
From the ashen Heartlands of Elistar to the molten wastes of Drathul, Kael searches for the truth buried within his ancestor's sin - that the act of creation was also the birth of appetite. As the Undernourished rise and the Veil between worlds thins, Kael must choose between silence, destruction, or a new word that could rewrite existence itself.
In a universe built on language, even a whisper can end a world.
The Rise of the Undernourished: The Codex of Kael Mereth launches The Codex Cycle, a post-mystic dark fantasy saga blending ancient myth, philosophical depth, and apocalyptic beauty - where the line between scribe and god grows ever thinner.
