An immortal bound in darkness. A shattered empire at war. And a blacksmith whose heart could tip the scales of fate.When young blacksmith Cahra is commissioned to forge a sword, she uses her imagination to design a symbol. But this symbol invokes an age-old prophecy and awakens Hael – an immortal with the power to shape or shatter worlds – sealed away in a chamber deep in Hael’stromia, the lost capital at the heart of a civil war between three kingdoms.Now hunted for the sword, Cahra must flee with the very stranger who commissioned it. But what does she truly know about the handsome and charming noble, Terryl?On the run through the darkly magical Wilds, she is drawn ever closer to Hael, who visits and beguiles her in dreams.
