“The world of Aria is dying. A broken prophecy, a kingdom at war, and twelve slumbering spirits whose power once held the balance of light and shadow.” When Themis Valeheart, an orphan swordsman haunted by the shadows of a past he cannot remember, loses everything to the flames of Rhapsodia, he discovers the truth—he is the Key, chosen to wield the Spirit’s blessing and awaken the bonds between spirit and mortal again. But prophecy is a blade that cuts both savior and world alike, and every step he takes leads him deeper into betrayal, sacrifice, and the return of a darkness long thought sealed. Allies will gather—priests and templars, healers and mages, generals and outcasts. But so will the enemies—an empire forged in conquest, some may turned traitors, and a godlike shadow whispering from the void. The fate of Aria lies in broken shards. To restore the Sacred Stone, Themis must face not only his enemies but the truth of who he is… and what he must lose to save the world. “A tale of war and friendship, elemental spirits and shattered kingdoms—where hope and despair walk hand in hand.”
