The sky was never just the sky. It was a seal-a prison that has begun to crack. When the celestial barrier shatters, forgotten voices whisper a name that should not exist: Kael Veyne.
A drifter with no past, Kael becomes the target of the Skyborn Enforcers, divine warriors sworn to silence the truth. But as he flees into the ruins of a lost world, he discovers a horrifying secret-he is not the first. Twelve before him carried his name. All were erased.
Hunted by gods, pursued by executioners, and haunted by the whispers of a war that history itself has forgotten, Kael must uncover who he truly is before the Pantheon-the rulers of existence-erase him once more. But as he unlocks the power buried within him, he realizes a terrifying truth:
The gods are not afraid of him.
They are afraid of what comes after him.
As the battle between divine order and cosmic horror erupts, Kael faces an impossible choice-reclaim his stolen past or sacrifice himself to stop a war that should never have been remembered.
The sky has broken. The war has returned.
And Kael Veyne is the last one left to fight it.
