In a universe overseen by the all-seeing Observer, seven flawed worlds hang in a fragile balance. To shield humanity from the monstrous forces that stalk the land, the gods made the ultimate sacrifice—offering themselves to mortals and becoming divine companions within them.

Shiro, a determined young man, earns a place at the world’s top academy, chasing strength and answers about his parents’ mysterious disappearance. But when he angers a selfish god, he’s cursed with a power that could very well destroy him—a punishment no one has ever survived.

Feared, marked, and utterly alone, Shiro must fight to control his curse, uncover the secrets buried across the seven worlds, and rise beyond what even the gods ever intended.
