The Korean sky is a wound of smoke and unnatural twilight. The stench of scorched earth and deep frost hangs thick. Sung Jinwoo kneels amid the wreckage of a city, a spear of solid ice driven through his torso. His vast army of shadows stands motionless, encased in a prison of shimmering glacier. Rakan's mocking laughter rolls across the ruins. Sillad observes, his gaze colder than the ice he commands. The Monarchs advance, their victory all but certain, and the Shadow Monarch’s life spills dark onto the broken ground. you, when the final light flickers, do you step forward or turn away?
