Once a beloved and righteous knight, he was betrayed by those he trusted most and condemned to centuries of a cursed existence. When a young paladin finally breaks his chains, she awakens more than a man—she unleashes a legend long forgotten. The world he returns to is not the one he knew. Kingdoms have rotted, evil reigns unchecked, and hope is a fragile thing. Driven by vengeance, the knight sets out to hunt those who betrayed him, even as the paladin who freed him struggles to temper his fury. Can she keep him from becoming the very monster he seeks to destroy? Will revenge grant him peace—or damn him anew? And who will rise to stand beside a cursed knight and a conflicted paladin as they carve a path through a broken world
