Zephaniah was born under a blood moon, the seventh son of a seventh son, marked by a prophecy he never asked for. Raised in the shadowed alleys of Marrow's End, he survives by wit and theft until the day the Whispering Order arrives, hunting those who bear the old blood. Forced to flee everything he knows, Zephaniah discovers his true gift: he can hear the dead speak through forgotten names. As kingdoms teeter on the edge of war and an ancient evil stirs beneath the mountains, he must embrace his destiny—or watch the world burn.
