The blood Debt
In the Empire of Nefaria, blood is more than just life—it’s the only currency that matters. It buys power for the elite and pays the debts of the desperate. While the King remains locked in a golden haze of negligence, the streets of the West End belong to the Abyssal Gang. Led by the volatile Raphael—a man who built his throne on a mountain of those he broke—the gang ensures that for the poor, every day is a negotiation with death.
Ezekiel Stormwing doesn’t care about empires or ancient mandates. He cares about the hollow look in his father’s eyes and the crushing weight of making ends meet in a city designed to swallow him whole. He has spent his life keeping his head down, working himself to the bone under the predatory gaze of Raphael’s thugs.
But the "predictable" misery of Nefaria ends in a single, suffocating heartbeat.
During the Great Triumph celebration, the sky breaks. An unknown force descends upon the capital, bringing a tide of vampires and demons that turns the city into a slaughterhouse. In the frantic crossfire of a war he never asked for, Ezekiel is forced to make a choice: let the darkness take his father, or offer up his own soul as a wager.
At the brink of extinction, something ancient and sealed deep within Ezekiel’s bloodline finally snaps. The "feeble" youth doesn't just survive; he erupts.
With a power that defies fate, Ezekiel pulls his father from the jaws of death, but the cost of his awakening is high. The war has passed, but a new hunger has taken root. Now, Ezekiel sets his sights on a goal that leads him straight to the gates of the afterlife. In a world where the powerful eat the weak, he’s finished being the prey.
Does he have the strength to rewrite his destiny, or will the power he unlocked finish what the war started?
