Daren Hu's life is simple — school, his mother's noodle shop, the quiet ache of a father who left and never came back. Then one night, a light pours into his sleeping mind, and he wakes up in a world that shouldn't exist: a violet sky, two moons, and a village that wants him gone. He's trapped — pulled from his world into a realm of gods and monsters, summoned by Solenne, Goddess of the Sun, who tells him the truth without softening it: he cannot wake up until his mission is done. The Veil-Lands are dying by inches, worn down by the Demon Lord Mordrach and the horrors he sends across the border. The gods who should defend it are bound by ancient law — forbidden to fight, able only to guide. Unable to bear an heir of her own, Solenne has reached across worlds and chosen Daren instead. Now training under Vasha, a fierce swordswoman, and Lyset, a sharp-eyed sorcerer who senses there's more to him than even the goddess knows, Daren must become something he never asked to be — a weapon, a hope, a son not born but summoned. He didn't choose this war. But it's already choosing him.
