Darkness is rising...
Skye is the deadliest weapon the Realm has ever trained and the most dangerous threat it has ever faced. Born into an elite organization that raises Agents from childhood to defend the worlds, Skye was assigned to the organization’s dream team from the start. A dark curse accelerated her abilities, but its consequences have claimed her humanity.
Now she must guide the team she grew up with, the organization’s greatest hope, on a critical mission to uncover who is behind the exponential rise in darkness and stop the force driving it. The team is skilled, but still inexperienced, and must level up to be ready for the true threat.
To survive, Skye and her team must rise above everything they were trained for before the darkness claims Skye and uses her to destroy everything.
For the fate of the Realm rests in their hands.
