“Don’t complain when the lights go out…” These were the words that came out of his mouth before he calmly exited the office. Silas Gray, a typical nobody, a medical instructor, is pushed aside by his wife, Lauren Forrest, when she sees that she has reached the very pinnacle of her career. She saw him as nothing but ‘Deadweight…’ But then everything turns upside down when, on the very day she had been dreaming of, she sees him standing with the top dogs of the city. Silas Gray wasn't just a nobody; he was the shadow ruler of Sintril, the Hidden Ace, and the blade that held the underworld together. He had chosen a quiet life to stay with his wife; for three years, he played instructor at the clinic. But now, he is back, and with his resurfacing, the underworld is shaking— threats are awakening, and new enemies and allies are being born. Will Silas continue to rule over his Empire of Ash and Gold?
