Three thousand years after the fall of Númaria, the world lives on while the past bleeds through in dreams and unanswered questions. Areus lives a disciplined life in the city of Toria, training and preparing for a future he believes he understands, while vivid dreams carry the anguish of a powerful Kynorian king into his waking hours. As Winterfest approaches, unanswered questions about his parents, and a growing sense of dread begin to fracture everything he thought was stable. This is the quiet beginning of something catastrophic, not through war, but through denial and withheld truth. What has been buried is already stirring, and it will not remain silent.
