Elias Crow learned young that darkness isn’t empty.It listens.In Blackreach City—a place built over ancient wounds in the earth—Elias survives by hunting the things that slip through the cracks of reality. Monsters. Curses. People who have already lost themselves. He does it not because he is brave, but because the shadows in his blood won’t let him rest.Every time he uses his power, something human bleeds out of him.When a string of ritual murders rips through the city, Elias recognizes the magic immediately. Shadowcraft. Forbidden. Personal. The killer isn’t just hunting victims—he’s carving messages into the dark, calling Elias home.As Elias descends into the city’s supernatural underbelly, he is forced to confront the truth he buried years ago: his power was never an accident. His curse was built. Shaped. A weapon meant to wake something ancient beneath the streets.And the final choice will not be between good and evil.It will be between becoming the monster he fears—or letting the city burn without him.
