Description

In a world corrupted by an ancient power, survival comes with a cost. The few who endure the touch of Aetherium gain unimaginable abilities but lose their humanity. Kai Rooker, haunted by his past, joins a rebellion against a cruel empire. As his power threatens to consume him, Kai faces a deeper battle within: can he fight without becoming the very thing he despises? In a world where power corrupts, the line between salvation and destruction is perilously thin.
