Six interconnected stories unfold across vastly different worlds, each one bending familiar legends and myths toward something darker and more urgent. A young girl's cursed letters begin spreading an incomprehensible force across the globe, summoning an ancient evil that feeds on human despair. A wanderer embarks on an impossible journey to stop a tyrannical king from consuming everything in his path. The undead rise in a world where the living struggle to survive another dawn. A wooden puppet discovers that becoming human requires far more than wishes and good behavior. A warrior crosses treacherous lands to reclaim what was stolen, fighting through impossible odds to save those she loves. Finally, a parent and child navigate their own struggle through a realm where dragons guard secrets that could change everything. These six narratives weave together through themes of transformation, sacrifice, and the price of power. What connects them all is a single question: when the world is breaking, what does it take to hold it together?
