WALKTALL (Signed)
They Stole His Life. Now He Must Reclaim His Soul.
Abducted from the brutal streets and cast into a far crueler fate, one orphan is forced into the depths of a re-education camp—a place whispered about in fear, where magic lingers in the shadows, and only the Tallmen and fairies dare to tread. Here, they strip names, crush wills, and forge survivors into something unrecognizable.
But some spirits refuse to break.
In a fight for his identity, the boy who once was must navigate a world of ruthless captors, lost souls, and secrets buried beneath the earth. Survival is no victory if it means losing himself—but if he can hold on to the last embers of who he is, he may yet uncover something greater.
