Fifteen years ago, a monstrous black shadow crept out of the Whispering Woods, terrifying the town of Oakhaven. But when it cornered a helpless young boy named Ren, it didn’t kill him. Instead, an ancient, terrifying power awoke within the child, sending the creature fleeing in absolute horror. Now a young man, Ren lives as a homeless outcast on the muddy streets of the very town he saved. Deemed a "freak" and a "bad omen" because the monsters of the forest refuse to touch him, he faces daily cruelty, starvation, and mockery from the arrogant townspeople. They think he is nothing. They think he is broken. What they don't know is that for fourteen years, that massive shadow and a legion of nightmarish entities have been kneeling in the dark, waiting for their Master's command. When the village's cruelty finally pushes Ren over the edge, the laughter stops. The sky turns to pitch, the earth shatters, and the Ghost of the Empire finally calls his shadows home. A dark fantasy tale of survival, hidden power, and absolute vengeance.
