Ancient magi-tech. Eldritch horror. Political Intrigue. And an outlaw prince.
The war for Formaria reaches its final hour.
Valdore Couronne, heir to a house built on secrets, has spent his life playing the fool. But beneath the mask lies a mind sharpened by deception, and as rival houses move toward open war, he is forced to step into a game where a single misstep could destroy everything his family has built.
Far from the courts of Helispont, Matthias Phaser navigates the ruins of a forgotten world, where ancient devices and inhuman powers stir once more. When he uncovers a relic capable of mapping sorcery itself, he realises the war is only a shadow of something far greater, and that some forces were never meant to be found.
As the underground descends into chaos, Valdore and Matthias are drawn together on a covert mission into the heart of enemy territory, where shifting loyalties, hidden truths, and powers beyond comprehension threaten to consume them both.
Because the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes: this war was never what it seemed.
And what lies at its centre may not be something that can be destroyed.
