Riven was never meant to return from the mountain. No champion ever had. Yet when he comes back alive, carrying a blade of living ice and the impossible power of a god thought dead, everything his people believed about their world begins to unravel.
For generations, the ashen of Promised Vale have lived beneath endless rain, cut off from whatever remains beyond the mountains. When a new path opens, Riven leads his people into the unknown, expecting to find the world of plenty promised in their oldest stories. Instead, they discover a land being slowly consumed by vast rifts of shadow.
Beyond the Vale, the last surviving civilization has spent centuries searching for a way to stop the darkness. Its expeditions vanish, its borders shrink, and the monsters within the rifts cannot be killed. Then Riven arrives carrying a blade unlike anything they have ever seen, and for the first time in generations, there may be reason to hope.
To Aerathar, leader of the expeditions, Riven represents something even greater: a chance to reach the Center, the largest and most dangerous rift in the world. At its heart, surrounded by darkness, a single golden light known as the Last Flame still burns. Every expedition sent to reach it has disappeared.
As Riven is drawn deeper into a world of dead gods, impossible creatures, and mysteries older than his people, he begins to realize that the darkness may not be the only thing waiting for him. Something else in the rifts has already taken notice.
