They were only children when the sky broke open.
When the masked ones of the Ak Corridor burned their village to ash, the world expected eight terrified kids to die with it.

But Kut — the ancient force of oath and soul — remembered them.
And so did Erdenay, the mad old man they used to laugh at.

In the heart of fire, he carved a rune.
In that rune, he sealed a promise.

Now, years later, the children of Thrime are no longer children.
They carry ancient words on their tongues, divine symbols on their skin, and a wound too deep for time to close.

Eight souls bound by blood, raised in rune, and forged for vengeance.

But vengeance is not without cost.
And somewhere, hidden in the ash of the past, the ninth shadow waits...

They took everything.
Now they’ll learn what happens… when the stars fight back.
