A dark force threatens the realm of Aetherian, hiding in the shadows for centuries, waiting for this moment.
Plotting. Manipulating. Seizing power.
And now the only one strong enough to stand against it is being held captive within its grasp.
What would you do when you can no longer distinguish friend from foe? When the one who claimed you betrayed you first?
How far would you go to survive?
Harlowe
I have to escape.
I cannot yield to this monster.
I cannot be the ruination of our realm.
I don't know who to trust or if I'll ever feel safe again.
All I know is that the man with the soulful brown eyes that haunt my dreams will either be my strength or my destruction.
And he's hunting me.
Silas
I made a mistake.
I put my faith in the wrong people, and I lost everything.
I refuse to give her up, however. She is mine and I'll never let her go.
I'll burn the entire realm to get her back.
She is my obsession, and I will destroy anyone who gets in my way. Including her.
Let the hunt begin.
