Alaric Valenwyld, the last heir to a shattered kingdom, flees to the English court, seeking refuge from the devastation that has claimed his home. But safety remains elusive, and he is soon cast into isolation, plagued by nightmarish visions and haunted by whispers of a power older than time. A mysterious coin passed down by his father begins to stir something within him, something dark and untamed, tying him to secrets that lie beyond the mortal realm. As strange forces awaken in Alaric’s blood, his path twists between two worlds—one he knows and one that calls to him with an ancient promise of power. Bound by fate and hunted by forces he barely understands, Alaric is drawn into a dark legacy that could restore all he’s lost…or consume him entirely.
