A door that shouldn’t exist. And when they step through it, they’re thrown into a world that defies everything they know—a realm of living prophecies, ageless warriors, and creatures born from curses. But legends come with a price. Because in this world, one of them is destined to burn… and the other, to rise from the ashes.
