?He was forged to be a weapon. Now, his first mission is to turn against his creator.?Seventeen-year-old Kairo Tenma has spent his life training to join the Aetherguard, the sworn protectors of Riven City. His destiny is to wield a Soulblade, a weapon of light against the encroaching darkness. But on the night his blade awakens, it does so with a terrifying, forbidden power that glows not with heroic light, but with the crimson-black energy of the enemy.?When a devastating attack on the city reveals a traitor in the ranks, Kairo learns a horrifying truth: he is no ordinary warrior.
He is an experiment, a living weapon created by the mastermind Abyst-the very man who now seeks to destroy the Aetherguard and ascend to godhood. The cursed "Shadowblade" in his hands is the key to Abyst's plan.?Hunted by his creator and feared by his allies, Kairo must fight a war on two fronts: one against the monstrous Hollowshade legions threatening to consume the world, and another against the corrupting whispers of his own blade.
To save everyone he loves, he must embrace a power that could devour his soul.?In a war for the soul of the world, can a cursed weapon become its savior? Or will the darkness inside him be the final betrayal?
