In the heart of Gaia, where the veil between the mundane and the supernatural grows thin, two souls are bound by a contract older than memory itself. Alex, a college student with a thirst for knowledge and a penchant for skepticism, finds his world shattered when he discovers the crimson seal adorning his neck, its eerie glow matching the intensity of his newfound connection to Lucian, the enigmatic warlock.

From the shadows of a forgotten past emerges a truth that will test their resolve, their trust, and ultimately, their very souls.
