"You will not die here. Not yet." ​The ruins of Black Hollow were supposed to be empty. Instead, they held a secret older than the Kingdom itself. ​When Hunter Rowan Vale touches a buried artifact to save his team, he unwittingly becomes the vessel for the Weeping Hunger—a Crimson Sovereign that views flesh as clay to be molded. ​He survives the massacre with bones that shift beneath his skin and eyes that see the heat of dying things. But survival comes with a heavy price. His partner, Caren, has been taken by the very beast that slaughtered their squad, and Rowan is the only one who knows she is still alive. ​Exiled by the Guild’s fear and driven by a supernatural hunger, Rowan must return to the ruins. But the voice in his head is getting louder, and the mutations are getting stronger. ​In a world where corruption is a death sentence, Rowan is walking the razor's edge between Savior and Abomination.
