    Summary

    He has already lived through the end of the world. Watched everyone he loved die, break, or forget him. Bled out in places no human being was ever meant to reach, and kept moving anyway — out of spite, if nothing else.

    So when he opens his eyes at the very beginning again, neither he nor the universe quite knows how it happened. Only that it did. And that something, somewhere, has gone very wrong — or very right, depending on who you ask.

    The boy who wakes up is not the one the world remembers.

    This Sunless has more than a decade of nightmares behind his eyes and nothing left to lose. He is not the careful, calculating shadow who once weighed every word and every step. He is something older, something cracked — carrying wounds that don't show on the skin, and a grudge against the universe that borders on religious devotion.

    The Nightmare Spell has seen many Lost. It has never seen one who came back like this.
