Four warriors died in flames.
Darkborn rose from the ashes.

Sylas the Wolf. Thorne the Red. Arless the Huntress. Lucian the Shield Breaker.

Four names carved into legend. Four warriors resurrected by the goddess of death and cursed with immortality. Together, they are the Darkborn—Protectors of the North, bound by blood and an unbreakable bond woven from hunger, pain, and rage.

For years, the Darkborn have held the North. Led by Sylas, they’ve kept the rot from scourging the land and their monstrous hunger contained. But when Sylas rescues the princess of a rival kingdom from an enemy dungeon, the gods deal their cruelest hand yet. Evangeline may be the key to ending the Butcher King’s tyranny, and the goddess of death has tasked the Darkborn with her protection. But the instant Sylas sensed the princess, an obsession awakened inside him that cannot be mastered. And having her is a line he can never cross.

While Arless and Thorne protect the North against the Butcher King's armies, Sylas and Lucian scour the South for answers to save the realm. As Sylas fights his hunger that only sharpens, Lucian discovers the Darkborn aren't the only monsters the gods created.
