After a catastrophic clash inside the collapsing Veil, Levi Tanner walks away as the unlikely victor over the ancient Unmaker-an entity born for one purpose: to erase everything. But victory comes at a cost. The Heartshard inside Levi has awakened, reshaping him into something more than human... and something the world may no longer be prepared to contain. As the Veil slowly mends, new disturbances ripple across the horizon-vivid, blooming anomalies that do not belong to the realm of shadows. Creation itself is stirring, awakened by the Unmaker's fall. Bright, vast, and unpredictable, it reaches for the world with growing curiosity...and growing hunger. Levi and the Blades of the Veil must face a force unlike anything they've encountered-one that does not seek destruction, but expansion. And it has already noticed the Harbinger. The first threat tried to unmake the world. The next one might try to rewrite it. And Levi stands in the middle-balanced by a heartbeat that could tip either way.
