Description

Hidden truths. Hidden power. Hidden destiny.

Someone is going to get burned...

On the shores of an oily sea, in the streets of a starving city, a young man named Áed scraps to build a life for himself and the makeshift family he loves. Scarred by a trauma he cannot remember, and haunted by the brutal damage it left behind, he has no idea of the courage his future will demand.

When tragedy strikes, a desperate Áed risks a treacherous, life-changing journey in his last chance to save the only family he has left - but an ancient legacy smoldering within him is about to turn deadly. Neither he - nor a kingdom - will ever be the same.

Hidden truths. Hidden power. Hidden destiny.

Someone is going to get burned...

On the shores of an oily sea, in the streets of a starving city, a young man named Áed scraps to build a life for himself...
