In a world where emotions create power, seventeen-year-old Ren lives as a nobody in the floating city of Aetheris.
But when shadow creatures known as “Hollows” attack his home, Ren discovers a forbidden power sealed inside his heart — the Last Flame.
This ancient fire feeds on pain, grows with determination, and awakens only in those who have lost everything.
Now hunted by the empire and feared by the people he once protected, Ren must decide:
Will he burn the world that rejected him…
Or become the light that saves it?
