Overview: The birds fell first. Then the frogs went quiet. Then the moon turned red, and the empire came up the south path with fire and rope.
Rakan was a hunter. A father. A man who taught his son to read tracks in the mud and apologize to the forest for what it gave them. In a single night of burning thatch, his village is gone, his best friend dies holding a doorway against five men, and his son is dragged into the dark by the hair.
He wakes in a wooden collar with something new living behind his eyes.
As the forced march toward the distant city begins, something ancient stirs inside him. The Blood Codex offers power: tracking skills born from the scent of his brother’s blood, combat abilities unlocked only after he is forced to kill to survive, and a rage that grows with every step. But the system does not give freely. Every advancement scars him. Every skill is bought with failure.
Now Rakan walks south in a line of captives toward a city that has fed its god for four hundred years, roped a pace behind the son he cannot reach. Somewhere behind him, his wife is following the smoke with their infant daughter, counting every soldier, every dog, every knot.
Chained, hunted, and already breaking, Rakan must decide how much of himself he is willing to burn to keep the path home open.
