Blending chilling supernatural dread with ruthless political intrigue, this story follows his harrowing ascent through a system where ambition is a death sentence and salvation lies in becoming the very thing he seeks to destroy. With every step up the ladder, the line between hunter and monster blurs—until only one force remains to cleanse a world drowning in darkness.
