Sixteen-year-old Kael Ryn watched his family’s manor burn to the ground. The Shadow Sect slaughtered everyone he loved, hunting for the Echo Core—a mysterious heirloom fused to his chest that lets him absorb the souls of the dead and copy their powers. Left with nothing but a knife and a power he barely controls, Kael enrolls in the Arcane Academy under a false name. He pretends to be weak while training in secret, absorbing the souls of beasts and killers alike to grow strong enough to avenge his family. But the Shadow Sect is closing in, and the Echo Core hides a far deadlier secret: it is the key to unleashing a world-ending monster. To save everyone, Kael must master his power, uncover his family’s legacy, and destroy the Sect before it’s too late. New chapters drop everyday. Join Kael on his journey from broken boy to the strongest warrior the world has ever seen.
