The King's soldiers took his wife and left him to die. Death sent him back with a demon inside. Arlen was an ordinary man until royal soldiers ambushed him in a storm-soaked forest. They shot him with a crossbow, dragged his wife Sofia away screaming, and left him bleeding in the mud. As he lay dying, an ancient spirit called Shadow made him an offer: become its vessel and live. Now Arlen heals in seconds. He sees souls instead of footprints and fights with strength no man should have. But every power has a price. Shadow feeds on life, and each kill pulls Arlen further from the man Sofia married. Rangers call him a demon. The Crown wants him dead. And the King is hiding something far worse than kidnapping. A dark fantasy of revenge, forbidden power, and one man's war against a kingdom.
