Within the Umbral Atrium, where the balance between light and shadow is fragile, the new initiate Soren feels like a stranger. His slow-awakening powers have made him an outcast among the angels. Everything shifts when Valerius appears—a demon-prince, heir to the Abyss. During a training exercise, Soren catches the piercing gaze of this infernal sovereign. Valerius draws near, and his voice is a whisper against Soren’s ear: ‘You are not like the others. Do you also feel the fracture?’. That night, Soren wakes not in his room, but suspended in the space between worlds. Valerius holds his hand, offering to show him the true dark.
