A slave in a tomb of dragon bones.
A false god of madness poised to break free.
A gift of light the seven realms cannot afford to lose.
Merik has known only the mines and the lash. Then the world opens before him: a chance at escape. A promise of power. A warning whispered through the dream-visions of a ghostly light.
Now the false god stirs, its voice seducing him: “Take this power. Control your fate. Never be a slave again.”
But power granted always demands its own price.
To save the realms, and to save himself, Merik must learn to trust those who offer hope rather than domination.
He must choose the risk of love instead of the safety of control.
He must embrace freedom when safety lies in chains.
If he fails, all that is good and free will be plunged into suffocating madness.
If he wins, he will become the light the darkness always feared.
