The Northern Peaks were silent for a brief moment, but the calm was deceptive.

Ethan Cole stood amid shattered mountains, golden aura blazing, every fiber of his being alert. The shadow army had been crushed, but a far greater threat remained one that had been hiding in plain sight.

From the swirling darkness atop the highest peak, a figure emerged. Taller, broader, and more ominous than any soldier or construct Ethan had faced. Crimson energy coursed along its form, black shadows writhing like living serpents.
