They say the Scarless are born with nothing. No name, no worth, no power. Just shadows where greatness should be.
Veyrin has lived by those rules. Invisible, obedient, unwanted. But when a brutal training expedition into the Forest of Sin ends in blood and death, everything changes. Something ancient wakes. Something watching. And it knows his name.
As whispers of the lost Eclipse bloodline stir in the dark, Veyrin finds himself haunted by visions, hunted by creatures that shouldn’t exist, and unraveling a truth that was buried beneath the foundations of the very academy sworn to protect him.
He was supposed to die. Instead, he survived.
And now the world is afraid of what that means.
But survival came at a price, and the shadows that walk beside him are growing restless.
A slow-burn, emotional dark fantasy about identity, power, and the cost of being seen.
For fans of character-driven stories, tragic legacies, and magic that bites back.
