They buried him in silence. Erased his name. And thought the darkness would swallow what was left. Kade Renshaw, once a loyal operative for an elite black-ops division known only as the Order of Meridian, was the weapon they turned to when things got inhuman. He obeyed. He killed. He vanished into the shadows—until the day they turned on him. Framed. Betrayed. Executed without a trial. But death didn’t take him. Awakening in a desecrated tomb beneath the city, Kade finds himself bound to an ancient force long sealed beneath layers of blood and oath. His memories are fractured. His allies are now his hunters. And the world above is rotting from the inside—plagued by secret covenants, occult syndicates, and rituals older than civilization. Kade is no hero. Not anymore. He’s something else now—something cursed, something awakened. With each passing night, the power inside him grows—and so does the cost of using it. He must walk the fine line between man and monster to uncover who betrayed him, why he was chosen, and what the hell is buried beneath the streets of this city. Every truth he uncovers peels back another layer of corruption. Every fight threatens to consume what little remains of his humanity. And at the end of it all, he’ll have to make one choice: Reclaim his soul—or burn the world that tried to erase him. In a world where death is only the beginning, can he survive what he’s becoming?
