This novel starts intentionally slow through the exposition and the early world and character building, BUT everything kicks into gear after the turning point in the latter half of Volume 1, and especially Volume 2, where the tone of the novel shifts.

The world thought the nightmare was over. The HUNTERS believed their war was won. But in the silence after victory, something darker begins to move. Shadows stretch across oceans, alliances crack, and whispers of a buried power resurface. Enemies without faces. Battles without rules. Secrets older than the outbreak itself.

At the center stands a man whose brilliance can change everything. But is he the key to salvation, or the spark of a greater ruin? Shadows of the Spiral is the next chapter of the HUNTERS saga-where survival is no longer enough, loyalty is tested to breaking, and heroes must decide what they're truly fighting for.

Born as the fourth prince of a decaying empire, Wu An was raised to be brilliant, polite—and irrelevant. Cast aside by his brothers and ignored by his warlord father, he wore his mask well: the quiet scholar, the forgotten son. But when a strange light drags him from his modern world into a twisted imperial court filled with ancient rites and fractured thrones, he awakens in a body shaped for power—and vengeance. To survive the throne room is to master the battlefield. To win the war is to become a monster. When war erupts in the north, Wu An unleashes a brutal campaign of subterfuge and slaughter. But beneath every victory lies something far more terrifying—visions of monks with bone-bead rosaries, scriptures written in blood, and gods that do not belong to this world. At the heart of the empire is a secret buried in ink and ash, and behind every smile in the capital, a knife waits.

In a world where a person’s worth is decided by their name, Riven has none. Branded nameless since birth, he exists at the very bottom of society—hunted by monsters in the wild and scorned by humans within the village walls. At just fourteen years old, Riven survives as a hunter, selling monster remains for a pittance while enduring the quiet cruelty of a world that refuses to see him as human.

They created him to be a weapon. They kept him to be studied. They broke him to keep him obedient. But one small mistake awakened something that should never have opened its eyes. When the Level-Three experiment collapsed, Aaron Ray... the quiet boy everyone believed harmless... turned the entire laboratory into a graveyard. Not because he wanted to. But because the entity inside him woke up first. The world thinks Aaron escaped. In truth… the world has just released the most lethal anomaly ever engineered. Hunted by a secret organization, haunted by the entity trying to claim his body, and trapped between becoming human or becoming a monster, Aaron clings to the only reason he has left to stay alive: The girl who once spoke his name like it meant something. As blood floods the city and the kill protocol activates, one question remains: Will Aaron stay human… or become the world’s final disaster?

She insisted on being his wife, even when he tried to avoid her. To everyone else, she was just another girl clinging to a dream. To him, she was a danger he couldn’t afford. Because behind his silence was a name feared in shadows, a secret life he had to protect. She called it devotion. He called it disguise. And the more he resisted, the closer she came — binding them both to a fate darker than love itself.

In the continent of Ignis, twelve noble families rule through power, influence, and ambition, each guarding secrets that could topple kingdoms. Among them lies a shadow war unseen by the common eye, a war fought not on battlefields but in whispers, in the calculated flicker of a gaze, and in the subtle manipulation of trust. Arin, a prodigious member of a silent order serving the Kingdom of Eldrun, possesses a dangerous secret: the ability to copy any technique or skill after a single glance. In combat, this cheat-like gift turns him into a living weapon, capable of adapting to any threat. Yet, outside the battlefield, he is a master of observation and strategy, reading the currents of political and social power with uncanny precision. Arin's duty is to protect the people of Eldrun

Six months ago, Nivaan Sharma vanished without a trace. No goodbye texts, no digital footprints, no CCTV—nothing. MindMesh, the emotion-tracking corporation he worked for, buried the incident in a footnote, and life moved on. Now… he’s back. Except—he doesn’t remember leaving. He doesn’t remember what he did. He doesn’t remember who he hurt. The people closest to him react like he’s a walking crime scene. Avni watches him like she’s analyzing evidence. Kiyan treats him like a dying star, ready to explode. And Ira—the wildcard—slaps him before she hugs him, which honestly tracks. When MindMesh publicly welcomes him back, every screen in the office glitches with a message: WELCOME BACK, NIVAAN. WE MISSED WATCHING YOU. Worse—Nivaan hears a distorted voice whispering warnings… in his own tone. Something happened during those six missing months— something dangerous, illegal, or unforgivable— and someone wants the truth to stay buried. As he digs deeper, reality fractures: friends turn suspect, lovers turn liars, and MindMesh turns predator. Nivaan’s memory is the only weapon he doesn’t have— and without it, he’s just another piece of data waiting to be deleted. In a world where emotions are surveilled and secrets are currency, Nivaan must decide: What’s scarier— the truth he’s forgotten… or the truth everyone else remembers?

Born mute, shunned by her mother, and hidden away for sixteen years, Princess Josephine is the forgotten child of King Hendrick of Dravenor, the Second Greatest Werewolf King, and Queen Sophia, the Strongest Witch alive. In a family of six, where three children inherit their father’s wolf blood and two their mother’s magic, Josephine stands apart — feared, hated, and cast away. Raised in secret by Nana Cellie, an old woman who showed her the love her own mother never gave, Josephine grew up silent but observant, pure of heart yet marked by sorrow. She never smiled, though her golden hair and ethereal beauty made her unforgettable. When King Hendrick finally recalls her to the royal palace, Josephine enters a world of werewolves, witches, vampires, elves, and fairies at the kingdom’s grand academy — a world where she is mocked, mistreated, and broken down by the very queen who gave her life. But what no one knows is that Josephine carries a power far greater than any creature alive. She is the reborn soul of Queen Hetragon, the legendary Hybrid Queen of Zephyria — a being so powerful she once brought kingdoms to ruin when her lover was killed. Now, history threatens to repeat itself, for her lover’s soul has been reborn as Oliver, Josephine’s own brother. When a cruel public humiliation awakens the dormant power inside her, Josephine unleashes destruction that shakes the kingdoms to their core. The return of Zephyria’s queen cannot be ignored — not by her father, not by her enemies, and not by the cold-hearted King Xavi and his twin sister Xoni, who watch her rise with dangerous interest. But will Josephine embrace her destiny as the most powerful hybrid to ever walk the realms? Will she rule the lost kingdom of Zephyria and claim her birthright as the Silent Queen? Or will her cursed bloodline destroy her before she can ever take the crown?
