A young mage. An ancient ruined city. A beast that should have killed him, and now it’s back to finish him off.
Caught between his insecurities and the possible slaughter of thousands, he plans to lead it away and bind it on his own.
In 472 BCE, in Northern Italy, a young, guilt-ridden mage pretending to be a healer, discovers he is being chased by a monster.
Convinced he can neither escape nor kill the monster, he decides to trap it in an isolated place so the monster will not return to kill everyone in the towns around. However, a tree-singer he healed from a deadly disease, a talking squirrel he rescued as a baby, and a naive, young blacksmith, insist on joining him on a dangerous journey into the Cursed Lands– where evil spells and magic gone awry still lingers.
Led by a mysterious blue stone, they plunge into a perilous land teeming with ancient magic, violent storms, and lurking threats—on a path where survival means more than just outpacing a monster. It means confronting guilt, forging trust, and relearning the power he abandoned long ago.
