Dyllode is an ordinary boy in a peaceful village—or so he believes. But when mysterious dreams of glowing eyes, monstrous battles, and an ominous spire begin to invade his nights, his reality shatters. Pulled into a timeless struggle, Dyllode learns he is the latest in a bloodline of warriors bound to a cycle of sacrifice, power, and pain.

The darkness, embodied by the ancient sorcerer Zyntheras, has risen again, and with it, the Hollowborn—twisted creatures bent on destroying all hope. Guided by fragments of memory and a glowing sword tied to his soul, Dyllode’s journey takes him to the Voidspire, where the cycle of blood and battle began. Along the way, he discovers an unbreakable bond with a boy who represents innocence, hope, and the future—a boy who may also be a reflection of himself.

As the battle against Zyntheras unfolds, Dyllode must face his greatest adversary: his own fears and doubts. With the legacy of the warrior Ed Lloyd weighing heavily on his shoulders, Dyllode fights to protect the boy and break the cycle that has doomed his ancestors.

But even as the cycle ends, its shadow lingers. In the ultimate twist, Dyllode realizes that the battle may never truly end.

Will Dyllode’s courage and sacrifice bring lasting peace, or is fate an unbreakable chain?
