The walls of China once stood as the world’s final barrier against darkness. But as the ancient forces rise again, the battle for survival has only just begun. In the aftermath of the first great war, the world is not at peace. As new threats emerge from the shadows, the fate of both mankind and the ancient empire hangs in the balance. William Garin, a soldier haunted by his past, must return to the Great Wall—only this time, the enemy isn’t just a monster of flesh and bone. It’s a force far older, and far more dangerous.

The world is darker now, and the stakes higher. The wind howls through the walls, echoing with the sounds of a battle that never truly ended. Garin and his allies must confront not only the beasts but the lingering shadows within themselves. As the weight of ancient secrets and old alliances threatens to destroy everything they’ve fought for, Garin must make the ultimate choice: to sacrifice his heart for the future, or to defy fate and rewrite his destiny.

“Sometimes, the greatest battle is not against the enemy outside, but the darkness within.”
