Book #2 from the series: The Shattered Legacy

Legacy of the Forgotten

Circle of Nine

About

The shadows never truly lifted after The Abyss of Stolen Souls. Alex Carter and Emma Lane walked away from the ruins of the first Circle site believing the nightmare had ended. Yet peace was only a brief breath between storms. The forces they thought they had destroyed were not gone. They had only gone silent and waited.

Now hunted and scarred by loss, Alex and Emma return in Legacy of the Forgotten. It is a story about love tested, revenge awakened, and secrets buried beneath centuries of faith and deception. The truth they uncovered in Bolivia opened a door that cannot be closed. Every ritual site they destroyed left traces of power behind. Those traces have started to stir again.

When Emma begins decoding the final pages of Charles and Robert’s journals, she realizes that they never reached the real heart of the Circle. What they found were fragments, echoes of a greater force that has lived through generations. The clues lead them to a discovery that ties their families and every death that followed to the same dark creation.

Each new piece of information pulls them deeper into the world of forbidden magic. The Circle used rituals that turned faith into control. Symbols drawn from forgotten languages form a web across the world. For Alex, every page reveals another shadow of his father’s past. For Emma, each discovery brings her closer to understanding what her mother truly sacrificed.

Their journey stretches from the cold silence of the Porcupine Mountains to the center of the United States where the Circle’s main power is hidden under the Texas State Capitol. There the surviving members will gather once more. To stop them Alex and Emma must perform a ritual that can erase the Circle completely. It is a spell that requires both of them and demands everything they have left to give.

The cost will not be measured only in danger. It will take love, memory, and part of their humanity. As Emma searches for the missing locus stones, she learns that each stone is part of a much older design. These stones carry the energy of the world itself and can release or contain it. Their power is beyond anything they have seen before.

Together they travel through cities, forests, and tunnels. The distance between them and the truth grows smaller with every mile. Their bond deepens in the quiet moments between fear and fire. Yet the Circle has been watching them. It has used their actions to rebuild its strength. When the final night arrives Emma is taken and the room she leaves behind is nothing but ruin.

Alex stands alone with the sound of the wind against broken glass. His only clue is a voice that calls him with a single demand. The books, the pages, the case, everything. Deliver it or she dies. What follows is a pursuit through hidden roads and secret places. He knows that this time there will be no help waiting at the end.

In this chapter of the story Alex faces what he has always feared. The Circle was never meant to fall. Its power was created to be passed to another. His bloodline carries a secret that binds him to the ritual itself. If he fails to use it, the Circle will rise again stronger than before. If he uses it, he may not survive.

Legacy of the Forgotten draws deeper into emotion and darkness. It explores how grief can become strength and how love can stand against a power built on cruelty. It shows how far two people can go when they refuse to let evil rewrite the world. Every clue, every name, every scar from the past leads to this single confrontation.

The story moves with tension and discovery. It builds on the betrayals in Bolivia, the ritual in Greece, and the oath Alex carries marked on his chest. Emma’s promise to her mother becomes the final key that guides them through the last storm. Every chapter brings another turn of truth and another piece of the mystery that connects the Circle to the world’s oldest beliefs.

The atmosphere is heavy with suspense and emotional depth. The danger grows with each page until it no longer separates life and death but belief and surrender. The Circle’s history is revealed piece by piece until the final pattern becomes clear. Their goal was never only control. It was rebirth. A world ruled by knowledge taken from the souls of others.

Alex and Emma must break that pattern. Their final journey is not about revenge alone. It is about ending a chain of power that began centuries before their time. The fight brings them through the deepest parts of human faith and despair. It questions whether light and darkness are truly separate or just parts of the same source that gave them life.

In Legacy of the Forgotten readers will find a blend of mystery, emotion, and supernatural tension. The story carries the pulse of a thriller and the weight of an emotional confession. It connects the past with the present and transforms loss into strength. The characters move not as symbols of hope but as people who bleed, fear, and still continue.

This is the turning point in the series. The place where secrets are no longer hidden and mercy becomes a weapon. The Circle is breaking. The truth is rising. When the storm ends only one will remain.
