Description

In a rain-slicked alleyway, seventeen-year-old William Eld lies dying, his blood mixing with the filth and stormwater of a crumbling city that forgot him long ago. Ragged clothes, bruised eyes, and a fading heartbeat—death clings to him like a second skin. But death, as it turns out, is not the end. It is an invitation.

In the final moments of his life, William discovers that death isn't cold or terrifying—it’semptiness, the feeling that his life meant nothing at all. But that void is shattered when something ancient, dark, and waiting awakens within him.

Dragged into a realm, William is offered a choice: fade into nothingness… or rise as the King of the Dead.

Haunted by his past and hunted by the living, William Eld must learn to wield the power of the grave, uncover the mystery of why he was chosen, and challenge the very nature of life and death—before both claim him for good.

“What does death feel like?”For William Eld, it feels like destiny.
