In the dying heart of the desert, his mother’s words awaken Shen’s power. But it’s too late. Darkness has arrived, and it hungers for the world.
In Eoden City, where relentless sands devour the land outside, Shen Auger is the reluctant heir to a dark legacy. His father Eoden, revered as the immortal Vessel of the Gods, holds sway over a dying world. But when Shen’s mother reveals whispers of hidden secrets that lie in the blistering wasteland, Shen’s sheltered life unravels.
Fuelled by a burning need for answers, Shen embarks on a perilous journey beyond the city’s walls, into the unforgiving Desolation. Alongside his fierce friend Griss, he encounters a Darkness that will not be sated until it consumes all. As rebellion ignites and the Darkness looms, Shen must confront his father’s tyranny and master a power born of love and rage to save his world—or watch it burn.
Tethered to Darkness is an epic tale of betrayal, shocking revelations, and the fight for truth in a land where even hope casts a shadow.
