In 2026, a mutated COVID-22 strain ravages the world, its victims rising again as the undead reclaim the living. Amid collapsing governments and burning cities, scattered survivors fight through a world where infection is only the beginning of the nightmare.

Hunted by her own kind and ignored by human mages, Alicia Nightclaw gambles everything on a forbidden summoning ritual. The result? Wraith, a wolf-blooded elf with enough ego to blot out the moon. Their bond is forced, their tempers lethal, and their fates now entangled in a prophecy neither wants to touch. Power shifts, loyalties twist, and the line between servant and master fractures fast.

Exile is the worst punishment an elf can bear — a severing deeper than steel, a wound that never quite scabs over.

For Aeralith Wynsera, once a daughter of the moonlit courts, the sentence fell without mercy. One moment she stood among crystalline spires; the next, she walked alone beneath a sky suddenly too large, too quiet. No kin. No sanctuary.

Just the press of the mortal world, heavy as winter fog and a wounded wolf.
