In a world on the brink of collapse, two champions rise—each sworn to save it in their own way. Croen, a servant of Death, preserves the last flickers of fading magic, believing it to be the key to the world's survival. Ancell, an inquisitor, hunts magic to its final ember, convinced it’s the very poison draining life from the world. Two paths. One goal. Their meeting is not the end—it's where everything truly begins.
