A scholar on a journey. A monster in his veins. An unbending truth.

All Otar ever wanted was being part of a community, but the monster in his veins, bent on killing those Otar touches, makes it impossible. It has already slipped his grasp more than once—with devastating consequences.

His desperate search for a cure for his curse leads him to the Ancients and their mysterious ruins. At a newly discovered ruin, past and present collide, and he finds answers beyond imagination…and perilous danger.

Confronted with the truth about his origin, Otar must decide fast what he will sacrifice to save those he holds dear.
