Three unlikely heroes. One ancient power. Endless danger.

Finn Thorburn never asked for power—especially not the kind that binds itself to his very soul.

When an ancient obsidian shard chooses him, Finn's life is torn apart in an instant. Alongside his steadfast friend Will and the enigmatic thief Raelyn, he is thrust into a deadly game he doesn't understand—one where the stakes are far greater than survival. The shards are no ordinary relics. They forge an unbreakable bond with those they choose, granting staggering power… at a cost no one fully understands.

And now, they are being hunted.

Ruthless mercenaries close in from all sides, willing to kill for a chance to claim the shards and the power they hold. With no safe haven and no clear answers, Finn, Will, and Raelyn are forced into a desperate race toward the city of Ainsdra. Their only hope lies with Rafferty—a reclusive healer rumored to possess knowledge of the shards and the means to break their grip.

But the journey offers no refuge.

With time running out and enemies closing in, the trio must attempt the impossible— infiltrate the legendary Great Library and steal a hidden tome said to hold the key to their freedom. But some secrets are not meant to be uncovered… and some powers cannot be undone.

In a world of rising magic, dark secrets, and shifting loyalties, Finn, Will, and Raelyn must risk everything—not just to survive, but to uncover the truth behind the shards before it consumes them all.

Because freedom may come at a price far greater than they are willing to pay.
