Bettsam was trained to fight in the shadows. But no training could prepare him for betrayal.

A year after the mysterious Shadow Elves attempt to devastate his village, Bettsam and his best friend Coleton are sent on a mission to destroy a deadly Lich Lord. With Liona, the strong-willed daughter of the village elder, they expect a simple hunt—until everything goes wrong.

What they find is not an enemy, but an ally—Almas Vaten, a boy cursed by dark magic. The truth shakes them to their core: they've been betrayed. The new king has set them up, igniting a war that threatens their world.

As armies gather and ancient grudges resurface, Bettsam must wield Memory, a mystical scythe of untold power, and choose who to trust in a game of shifting alliances. But the shadows hide more than just enemies—they hide secrets that could change everything.

Loyalty will be tested, friendships shattered, and an empire brought to its knees. Can Bettsam and his friends survive the coming storm?
