<p>Though he's already lost in a world he doesn't understand, things spiral even further out of control for Robin Sinclair when he's injured by the Blighted, twisted amalgamations of flesh and bone possessed of dark strength and near-human intelligence. Worse, the Blighted seem hellbent on hunting humanity to extinction, forcing Robin to confront the fact this new world may somehow be worse than the last.</p> <p>Despite his cynicism, however, Robin finds himself going out of his way for another person for the first time in... possibly ever. Only there's more to his new companion Medea than meets the eye; a dark secret even she isn't aware of, all but guaranteeing she'll never stop being hunted by man and monster alike. If they want to stay alive, they'll have to learn Tempering, an ancient aetherforging technique meant to guide their very souls along the path to greatness.</p> <p>But true greatness isn't achieved with power alone, and facing the demons within oneself may just be worse than facing any monster--after all, those with the deepest scars have the furthest to climb.</p> <p>Expect a slow burn with flawed characters who don't always know what they want or what's best for them, realistic romance, dark humor, and serious themes. Power will be earned through blood, sweat, and tears.</p>
