Description

The Riftwood is a sentient remnant of divine warfare, a cursed forest born from the ambitions of warring gods who sought to reshape the world. Rowan, a man shaped by the Riftwood’s dark influence, carries its shadow within him—a power he can neither fully control nor entirely reject. When the monoliths holding the Riftwood in check begin to falter, Rowan and an uneasy band of allies must venture deep into the corrupted lands to confront its growing power.

Their journey to seal the Riftwood’s heart feels like a hard-won victory, but the Riftwood, a being forged from divine foresight, has always been two steps ahead. Sealing the heart was never the end—it was part of the Riftwood’s plan, a step toward its awakening. As Rowan and his companions struggle with internal conflicts, political intrigue across the continent, and the ever-present manipulations of the Riftwood, they must uncover the truth of its origin and decide whether to destroy it or wield its power.

In a world of fragile alliances and ancient secrets, where gods have left their scars on the land, Rowan’s journey is not just a battle against the Riftwood but against the shadow within himself.

Will he defy the Riftwood’s will, or will the choices he makes bring about the cycle’s completion? The fate of the world hangs in the balance as Rowan walks the line between savior and harbinger.
