More about this book

The Story

In the world of Anara, ancient relics still hold strange power while the ruling Watch hunts the Keepers who protect them. Galen, a Relic Master who has lost his powers, travels with his apprentice Raffi in search of a hidden relic that could matter to the fate of their world.

Their journey takes them through hostile settlements, ruined places, and dangerous encounters with monsters, spies, and factions that want the relic for themselves. A girl tied to the Watch enters their path, and the story gradually reveals that not everyone believes the same history about the Keepers, the Watch, or the world’s past.

As the search pushes them toward the dark city of Tasceron, more secrets about the relics, the Makers, and the old Order come into focus. The book ends with unresolved mysteries and a clear setup for the next installment, keeping the larger conflict open.
