The Dark Heart

The gods need defenders, but Adom and Terah are fighting for a future of their own.

Through desperate trials, Terah and Adom have forged an unwavering partnership, but the secret they discover on their latest quest savagely rips them apart. While Adom struggles to escape the snare of Death's great web, Terah is forced to return to Aranos to confess ancient wrongs.

Disaster looming, Death commands Adom to wed his scion to forge a union capable of battling the menace to come. But Adom's heart belongs to Terah, and he will stop at nothing to reunite with her—even if it means burning Akolan to primeval dust.

Alone and besieged by challenges, Terah must confront her father's treacherous legacy. But the cost of power is high, and to fight her mounting enemies, she must pay with her humanity.

When at last their paths collide, Terah and Adom have become what their gods need: unchained weapons honed for war. As the foretold invaders breach the skies and chaos descends, Terah and Adom urgently need allies. But who can they trust when they suspect everyone, even the gods, of deception?
