Hwalin Yong, once the shattered heir of a fallen martial sect, is thrust back in time, but he isn’t alone. His sect is ruined. His family is gone. His future was nothing but ashes. Then fate gave him a second chance.
But the past is not empty. A monstrous darkness lingers at the edges of his mind, constantly whispering, waiting to claim him. A voice that is not his own. A hunger that does not belong to him. A shadow that follows him through every moment of his second life.
Can Hwalin resist its pull, or will he surrender to the shadow? Every battle he fights on the outside is matched by a battle within. Every enemy he defeats strengthens the darkness inside him. Every victory brings him closer to losing himself.
As the battle within intensifies, he uncovers a dormant power that could reshape his destiny and the fate of his sect. A power that has been sleeping inside him since the beginning. A power that might be the key to saving everything, or the key to destroying it all.
