Seven decaying kingdoms. One ancient curse that threatens to destroy them all.

High in a secluded tower, Prince Sigismund lives in quiet exile. He is an outcast in his own kingdom—his black eyes feared as the harbinger of the ruin that has swept across the land. Alone and blamed, he watches the world from afar, haunted by a fate he never chose.

When his eighteenth birthday arrives, he knows he is out of time. Forced to make a daring escape from death or exile, he finds a world on the brink of war. On his perilous journey he meets others like him, and discovers their stories are bound by the same dark omen.

A heartbroken moondrake.

A valiant griffin.

A whimsical fairy.

All cursed with black eyes.

But as a cantankerous old wizard brings them all together to save the world from coming destruction, the Dragonking has other plans.

He wields the sinister Never-Was, a force that doesn’t just hold the power to destroy life on Solarius—but to erase existence itself.

Now, only Prince Sigismund and his unlikely allies stand between existence and total annihilation.

Hypernea by Kyle N.A. Becker is an epic tale of courage and unity in the face of overwhelming darkness.
