Book of Eternal Night

The Book of Eternal Night first appears in the Cradle series as a forbidden text of ancient origin, its pages said to contain the secrets of the Abyssal Palace sect. Across the later volumes it shifts from a mere rumor whispered among Underlords to a tangible artifact that shapes the fates of the Uncrowned King tournament competitors. Its influence grows from a passive source of forbidden knowledge to an active catalyst that forces characters to confront the darkness within their own sacred arts.
