A hidden world. A dangerous legacy. A destiny tied in seven knots.
Seventeen-year-old Solomon Vance never expected his life to change-until a mysterious man begins following him through the streets of New Orleans. Silent. Unmoving. Watching.
When the stranger finally steps out of the shadows, he reveals a truth Solomon can't believe:
He is Hiram Vance, Solomon's great-great-grandfather... and he hasn't aged in over a century.
Before Solomon can make sense of the impossible, he is pulled into Ombra, a secret realm layered over our own. Ombra is alive-its lamps burn memory, its streets shift beneath your feet, and its people wield powers rooted in history, tradition, and forgotten magic.
But Solomon soon learns the most unsettling truth of all:
He is heir to The Seven Knots-an ancient lineage powerful enough to shape Ombra's future... or destroy it.
As factions rise-the Wayfarers, Rootworkers, Necromancers, and Conjurers-all with their own plans for Solomon's bloodline, he must navigate a world where allies lie, enemies whisper truths, and every step tightens the web of destiny around him.
With shadows at his heels, memories awakening inside him, and a dangerous prophecy closing in, Solomon must confront the one question no one can answer:
Why him?
And why now?
