One shard binds. One shard corrupts. One shard will break them.
Finn never asked to be chosen.
When an ancient obsidian shard fuses to his soul, it grants him power—
and begins slowly destroying him.
Now he and his closest friend Will are bound to something they don’t understand…
and can’t escape.
Then there’s Raelyn—thief, liar, and far more dangerous than she appears.
She knows what the shards are.
She knows what they do to people.
And she’s hiding something.
Hunted by mercenaries and running out of time, the three are forced into a desperate gamble; break into the Great Library and steal a forbidden tome before the shards consume them completely.
But the deeper they go, the clearer the truth becomes—
The shards aren’t just weapons.
They’re part of something far older.
Something that was never meant to return.
And someone is already trying to bring it back.
