Seven cursed blades. One rising horror. The cost will be everything.
The dead are rising, and they are not alone.
On the night the moon turns green, something awakens in the marshes of Fylan’s Hollow. A long-sealed horror, never meant to be remembered, stirs. The living twist into monsters, and malformed abominations begin to spread across the countryside.
Shao wants no part of it.
Once a master of a legendary martial order, he now lives as a wanderer, far from the past he refuses to face. But when a quiet riverside inn is overrun by abominations, he is forced to draw his blade again.
Bound to a band of unlikely survivors—a sharp-tongued bard, a hardened ranger, and a half-elven girl with a power she does not understand—Shao is pulled into a world unraveling at its seams.
Because the horrors are not random.
They are searching.
Whispers speak of seven cursed blades. Relics forged in blood and bound with souls. Weapons that could slay gods… or awaken what lies beyond them.
And something already seeks to claim them.
As the dead rise and the world fractures around him, Shao must face the past he abandoned… or watch it fall to the same fate as his order.
Perfect for readers of dark, character-driven fantasy who enjoy creeping horror, slow-burn tension, and worlds where power always comes at a cost.
