Determined to find Noah and reclaim his body, Erik must navigate a treacherous new world filled with deadly creatures, political intrigue, and ancient secrets. Along the way, he'll forge alliances, challenge the corrupt hierarchy, and tap into forbidden powers that could alter the fate of this world.
