Marked by a mysterious curse since birth, Markus Kane survives on Aerias, a world where future technology collides with tradition and ancient mysticism. When his foster sister’s crimes force them to flee the kingdom’s deadliest districts, they find unexpected allies—a retired Nevran knight and his mystical wife, blessed with a benevolent gift. But as the Guild’s elite conspire with ancient powers reawakened after millennia, Markus discovers his curse may hold the key to Aerias’ delicate balance. Now, he must decide whom to trust before his past and an evil older than time consumes all he cares about.

At its core, Markus Kane: Dawn of Shadows is a story about endurance and found family — about learning to live with the scars that shape us.
