Everyone awakens once. One power. One life.
Rion Vale awakened to nothing.
So the world called him empty, and sent him away to be forgotten.
But the dark had been waiting a long time for a Vale, and it left something behind his eyes. A quiet system no one else can see. A thing no one was ever meant to hold.
The boy with no power of his own can keep any power he takes. Every monster he kills. Every gift he steals. All of it, his.
The world believes the Vales are gone.
It is about to remember what they sealed away, and why they were so afraid to open it.
