Publisher's Synopsis
The cycle is broken. The world should be safe.
But the Veil does not forget. And neither does Malrik.
Kael Maren has shattered the path laid out for him, refusing to become the next prisoner of the Veil. In doing so, he has severed the sigil bearers from their ancient source of power-and condemned his greatest enemy to a fate worse than death. Malrik now sits upon the Throne Beyond, bound in chains of unraveling magic, locked within the Veil itself. But some prisons are not as strong as they seem.
As the last remnants of the Ashborn rally and fractures continue to spread across the world, Kael and his weary allies must seek out the hidden truths buried beneath history's ruins. Their only hope lies in forgotten knowledge-secrets that could either seal Malrik's fate forever or unleash something even worse.
But Kael is changing. The sigil within him is no longer a gift or a curse-it is something new, something the world has never seen before. And as the boundaries between reality and the Veil shift once more, he will be forced to answer a final question:
Has he broken the cycle, or has he only set something greater in motion?
The final battle looms. The Veil watches. And far beyond the edge of existence, the Architect of Ruin stirs.
