During a brutal war, two soldiers, Jake Turner and Mason Reed, find an unexpected companion—a stray dog that follows orders like a trained soldier. What starts as a simple encounter turns into something more as the dog proves itself on the battlefield. But where did it come from, and how far will it go to protect them?

Kael Miro has been visiting Miriam’s bookstore for as long as he can remember. The place feels like a second home, tucked away in a quiet corner of the city. One rainy afternoon, after a long day of school, Kael stops by to browse the shelves, and Miriam offers him a book she found outside by the trashcan. It’s old, covered in dust, and filled with strange symbols Kael doesn’t understand.

Curious and intrigued, Kael takes the book home—and soon discovers that it’s not just a book. It’s a key to something much bigger, and possibly dangerous. Miriam seems to know more than she lets on, but when Kael presses her for answers, she only gives him a knowing smile.

Why did she give him the book? And what secrets does it hold?
