When a mission draws him into RuinVale Woods, Blake discovers a hidden world of witches, monsters, ancient Veils, and supernatural laws that govern reality from the shadows. But in this world, power is not just energy. It is Authority. And once reality recognizes what Blake carries, the things watching from the dark begin to move.
