"Hunted since I was six. Sounds like a horrible thing right? But it's pretty common for my kind, the Accursed. If I had to guess, the gods don’t like the idea of us running around with our little ‘gifts.’ But hey, when life gives you demonic chains, you might as well make a statement." For Ryn, life has always been about staying a step ahead—whether it’s outrunning the Mantled who hunt him or, the demons who want a piece of his soul. Snarky, reckless, and with a grin that’s gotten him into more trouble than he cares to count, I mean he was the textbook troublemaker. Even so, Ryn’s never been one to take things lying down, it was the one thing he wouldn’t let this world take from him. Especially when it comes to the chains that wrap around his arms, humming with power and the faint whispers of something he’s not entirely sure he should listen to. But things are changing. Whispers of a long-buried secret start to surface, something about a power that could turn the tide for the Accursed—or drown them all. And Ryn, despite his best efforts to stay out of the bigger messes, finds himself caught in the middle. As old legends begin to stir and new enemies emerge from the shadows, Ryn's left with a choice: keep running or face the chains that bind him—and maybe, just maybe, shatter a few along the way. "They’ve been hunting me my whole life. About time I find out why."
