A world on the brink. A legacy in ruins. Snyder’s life in the quiet village of Valknut is defined by simple joys and the wisdom of Bezel, the crone who raised him. But when the brutal soldiers of Darkhold descend in a flurry of steel and flame, his world is reduced to ash. With her final breath, Bezel reveals a truth Snyder never imagined: he is the bearer of an ancient heritage, a bridge between the human and elven worlds. Guided by glowing runes only he can decipher, Snyder must flee into the treacherous Eldergloom Woods to find the legendary, elusive wizard Alcazar Wormwood. Alongside a fierce shield maiden and a band of unlikely allies, Snyder embarks on a journey through ethereal elven cities and haunted ruins. As a dark shadow known as Lord Kain closes in, Snyder must master the ancient magic of seidr to reclaim his past and protect the future. In a realm where legends are real and betrayal cuts deeper than any blade, one boy must embrace his destiny before the darkness consumes everything he loves.
