Aramith Virellian is no ordinary prince. At birth, he awakens the darkness attribute—a power feared for its adaptability and its curse. Darkness can mimic any attribute, but each step forward demands sacrifice. To grow stronger, Aramith must surrender pieces of himself—memories, emotions, even parts of his humanity.
Exiled by his father, he is forced to walk a path where his greatest enemy may not be an outside threat, but the monster within. At his side is Mozrael, a girl bound to a dragon she never asked for. His sister, Lia, blessed with light, may be destined to either save him… or destroy him.
But Aramith doesn't know that part of himself has been locked away.
His personality became foggy, hollow, and empty.
When disaster strikes, and lightning tears him from the waking world, he meets the spirit born of his own darkness—keeper of all that was locked away.
She gives him a seed, and with it, a choice: remain the hollow boy, or awaken as something far greater.
And now, he has a goal.
