Darkbound Ascendance

In a shattered world ruled by merciless overlords and twisted creatures from the Void, Kael has lived his entire life as a nameless slave. But when a forbidden artifact falls into his hands, everything changes. The power to control the shadows awakens within him, and Kael is forced into a deadly game of survival, betrayal, and rebellion. Joined by a rogue warrior, Lira, and hunted by monstrous enforcers, Kael must unlock the secrets of his new abilities before they consume him—or the entire world.
