ECLIPSE WANDERER The city of Mireth wears two faces — a bustling market by day, and something else entirely once midnight arrives. Mikhail Starfall lives between the two. Not because he has to. Not because he has no other choice. But because that's simply who he is — an anomaly that fits into no box, wielding a darkness-based magic that shapes into whatever he wants, and a foreign entity inside him that comments on everything with a curiosity that knows no restraint. This world is full of mysteries. Creatures that shouldn't exist. Powers born from contracts with concepts older than any kingdom. And Mikhail has only just begun to glimpse the edge of something far deeper. But amid all of it — there's a mute girl from the bakery next door, who recognized the color of his magic core before they'd ever spoken. Who smiles at him, calm and unshaken. Who isn't afraid of anything he's hiding. And that, somehow, is far harder to ignore.
