The Severed Sky

The map has no borders. The wounds have no end.

Callen Nasinth returned from Embarak believing the worst had been contained. Then reports begin arriving from across the kingdom: bonds failing without cause, gifted people waking to silence, and ancient waystations going dark.

The scattered incidents form no battle line.

They form a pattern.

With Kyraleth beside him and his family at risk, Callen must follow the trail beyond familiar roads and borders, into places where the drift itself has been wounded. Every answer points toward forgotten watchers, buried failures, and a threat that does not conquer territory.

It severs what holds people together.

The Nightshade knows how to hunt an enemy. The Dragon Singer knows how to protect a bond. To survive what is coming, Callen may have to become something neither tradition prepared him to be.

The sky is breaking.

And every bond beneath it is vulnerable.
