The City Where Shadows Speak

In the perpetually foggy district known as the Hollow, Roman Devlin carries a heavy burden. Known as the Wolf of the Hollow, his pendant-the Skull of Obitus-marks him as one of the most feared Darkslayers in a city built atop ancient magic. But beneath this fearsome reputation lies a man trapped by his abusive father's influence and desperate to protect those he loves. Meanwhile, in neighboring Angelthene, Darien Cassel leads the Seven Devils, a circle of monster hunters grieving both his mother's death and his girlfriend Loren's coma. When these worlds collide through an unexpected theft and a search for missing siblings, the delicate balance between rival territories begins to crumble. What makes this urban fantasy so captivating is how it weaves supernatural elements into everyday life. Gray Zones mark dangerous territories, protective forcefields surround cities, and magical treatments can heal otherwise fatal conditions. Yet beneath this fantastical veneer lies a simple truth: in a world where monsters lurk in shadows, sometimes the most dangerous creatures are the ones we love.
