Summary
Thirteen years of servitude. An eternity of shadows. And now, the cost of freedom might be too high to pay.
The Baron has fallen, but for Kyle Crane, the chains were never truly broken. The legendary Hero of Harran carries more than just scars; he carries a beast roaring beneath his skin and the watchful eye of the GRE, which refuses to let him go.
While the survivors of Castor Woods breathe a sigh of relief, Kyle faces a new burden: Aiden. Young, powerful, and shattered by the guilt of a devastating loss, Aiden is the reflection of a past Kyle couldn't save.
Now, an inevitable mission drags them back into the heart of the nightmare—the very labs where they were treated like guinea pigs. Amidst the roar of generators, the violet glow of UV lights, and the shriek of Volatiles in the dark, mentor and apprentice must face not only the undead but the ghosts of who they used to be.
In a world where humanity is a forgotten luxury, will they reclaim their true selves, or will the ashes of the past consume them for good?
