OverviewEdge of Despair Some monsters hunt for meat. Others hunt for your soul. A nameless orphan has no past, and no place in the world-until the day the stoic former soldier Fyodor pulls him from an orphan's yard and offers him a home on a remote frontier farmstead. But peace is a luxury the harsh eastern marches cannot afford. When a twisted, impossible wrongness begins creeping out of the mist, the young farmhand discovers that a dark, heatless fury lives right behind his own eyes. To protect his adoptive family, he is forced to make a desperate, bloody bargain with an ancient void waiting beneath the barn floor. He saves them from the shadow, but the cost is absolute: the entity tears away his very identity, leaving him with a hunger he cannot control. Before he can learn to live with the darkness inside him, real-world brutality strikes. A ruthless band of mercenaries descends upon the farm, leaving a trail of slaughter, stolen lives, and a shattered sanctuary. Fleeing to the bleak fortification of Blackgate Keep, the young protagonist and his adoptive sister, Milena, find themselves under the protection of Duke Dragomir and his terrifying, cold-gloved general, Varna. Varna recognizes the boy for exactly what he is: a Shadow-Walker. Now, he must ride alongside the Duke's elite soldiers to hunt down the Ashen Covenant. But as he unleashes his terrifying occult powers against the men who destroyed his life, he faces a choice far more dangerous than the enemies in the marsh: Will he master the hunger in his soul to become a savior-or will the darkness swallow him whole?
