The dead rise. Dark myths return. What hope remains?

In a realm where gods walk forgotten paths and oaths still shape destiny, one druid and one knight must forge a fragile alliance — or risk losing everything to the shadows.

Rubifire, a devoted druid with fire in her spirit and healing in her hands, has always walked in harmony with the forest. Carastan Marshall, a disciplined knight and cleric of Krysanthe, believes in honor, duty, and the light of justice. When undead horrors emerge from sacred ground, ancient powers stir, and prophecy calls — neither can face it alone.

Drawn together by purpose, tested by betrayal, and bound by a slow-burning connection neither fully understands, Rubi and Carastan must navigate the rising storm of war, faith, and forgotten magic. Will their bond be enough to stop the darkness — or will it become their undoing?

Perfect for fans of Dragonlance, The Inheritance Cycle, and The Witcher, this emotionally immersive epic blends sword and sorcery adventure with rich spiritual depth, heartfelt romance, and unforgettable characters.
