About

Mei has never slept through a single night. The doctors call it migraines. They're wrong. The pain is a door - cracked open since birth onto the Sulen, a second world layered beneath this one, where dead light pools and hungry things take shape at the edge of sight. Most people never see it. A rare few wake up: they learn to draw eira, the life-force, from their own bodies and shape a power that is theirs alone, then climb the Path toward the summit. It has a price. Every surge of power burns years off the life of the one who spends it. Climb fast enough and you reach the top a stranger to yourself - if you reach it at all. When the only person who ever protected Mei is taken from him in a single night, he stops waiting to be saved. He'll take whatever sleeps inside him and bend it to his hand - fast, and on his own terms - and find out who set this in motion. Not for revenge. So that he never has to bury anyone again. He's about to learn what that promise costs. — A progression fantasy about power and the price of it. Strong, deliberate lead. A cast that earns its scars. No plot armor. Frequent updates through launch.
