Helmut was never supposed to survive. Cast away as an infant in the Forest of Pahe—a nightmare realm where sinners are banished and beasts rule the shadows—he was marked for death from his first breath. But fate is a fickle thing. Under the protection of a powerful magical creature and the tutelage of an exiled swordsman, Helmut grew up in a place where no other human could. Now, he steps out from the darkness, a master of the blade with a terrifying secret lurking in his soul.

The dark seed planted within him is a ticking time bomb, threatening to strip away his humanity and leave behind nothing but a monster. As Helmut ventures into the world of men to find the family that abandoned him, he must wage a constant war against his own instincts. Will he remain the master of his own destiny, or will the beast inside finally break its chains? Prepare for a pulse-pounding journey of blood, steel, and survival. This is the tale of a boy who refused to be forgotten and a warrior who will let nothing stand in his way.
