Chapter 1
The Pact That Broke Them
The five kings once shared a bond—not of blood, but of balance. Their pact was made at the Abyssal Gate, a ruin now lost to time. When the pact was broken by the mortals above, their dominions fractured, and they turned on one another—until each was sealed separately with a unique condition for release.
The true endgame of the series is not just their awakening, but the reformation of the pact—through the five women fated to tether them anew.
These five women carry the forgotten marks of the old sea priestesses—runic sigils long lost to myth, now reborn as ink, blood, or breath on their skin.
