A sweeping dark fantasy that follows York and Chastity Dumisani, the last heirs of the golden-eyed Dumisani tribe. They awaken ancient gifts buried in moonlit forests and blood-stained ruins in order to face Draeke, a relentless vampire hunter bound to an even darker force. Along the way they uncover a shattered Pact between their people and the Ancients, and begin to sense the presence of a symbiotic Ancient entity that feeds on both blood and spirit. As they journey through haunted woodlands and crumbling citadels, every trial of strength and sacrifice brings them closer to a reckoning that will determine the fate of all shapeshifters.

Setting / World Overview
Mother's Womb
A mystical land that was created from
the drumbeat within the Earth core.
Encased in eternal winter, this shifting refuge drifts across the Wasteland on the western banks of the Mississippi. Its bitter cold barrier makes the outside world all but uninhabitable, yet within its bounds a lush oasis unfurls. Rolling plains give way to gentle hills and hidden peaks, all nourished by rich, fertile soil. Guarded by the Ancients and home to the original shapeshifters, the Mother’s Womb moves like a living weather pattern, offering perfect skies and serene calm to those who enter.
The Wasteland
The territory west of the Mississippi River. The land was unable to be colonized.

From crowded coastal cities to silent inland temples, the Africas pulse with living history and deep magic.
