In the shadow of the Spire, where children are harvested and magic is the weapon of tyrants, every champion bears his scars. Jharhin’s are carved from bone—a tally of victories and sins from his fight for survival in the infamous Ring of Celebrants.
His brutal existence shatters when a stranger uncovers a truth that condemns him, thrusting him into a world of shifting loyalties and buried histories.
Hounded by the Keepers and haunted by a power he never asked for, Jharhin forges uneasy alliances with a stone-speaking warrior and a double-edged spy.
To uncover the truth, he must hunt a dying man burdened with the Spire’s darkest secrets. But with every step, he learns the roots of evil run deeper than he ever imagined. In a land where hope is forbidden, Jharhin must survive not only his enemies, but the weapon the world is trying to make of him.
Institutional horror. Choice vs destiny. For readers who crave dark magic, flawed heroes, and the price of defiance. Step into the Ring. The world is watching.
