After the brutal loss of his beloved grandfather, Liam Hunter embarks on a harrowing journey into the heart of the Dark Forest, known as the Forest of Kyrell, with a singular goal: to gain the strength necessary to honor his grandfather's memory and to never lose anyone dear to him again.

At just ten years old, Liam is thrust into a world of darkness and malevolence, where he endures four grueling years of training and transformation. In this shadowy realm, he is reborn as a fierce warrior, driven by a relentless desire to eradicate every demon and ultimately confront the Demon King, Vorgath himself.

To achieve his formidable goal, Liam must forsake any emotional connections that could weaken his resolve. The once vibrant and joyful boy is transformed by his trials into a cold and unfeeling combatant, hardened by the harsh realities of his quest.

This is the story of Liam Hunter—the last wielder of dark magic—whose journey through darkness and sacrifice will shape him into a force of vengeance and resolve.

The moment Liam crossed the threshold, the atmosphere of the council chamber shifted. Conversations dipped into uneasy murmurs, gazes sharpened, and the weight of the room's tension pressed down like frost accumulating on glass. Galen, without pausing to acknowledge the stares directed at him, peeled away from Liam's side and strode with unhurried confidence toward the front rows. Queen Lucy and Mystica sat together, their presence already commanding attention, but the moment Galen slipped into the empty seat beside them—as though he had been expected all along—the chamber rippled with hushed whispers. His reputation preceded him; his arrival turned the air taut with a mixture of awe, resentment, and poorly concealed fear.
