What secrets lie hidden in the blood of a man who bargained with monsters? Devon Fiore thought he had inherited only two things from his mafia grandfather: a scar beneath his jaw and enemies eager to kill him over unpaid debts. Until an act of impossible cruelty—a forest sprouting in the heart of Brooklyn, trees whispering in dead tongues—dragged him into an ancient game where entire civilizations are pawns and gods place silent bets. Here, there are no written rules. Only the shadows of a forgotten pact binding the Fiores to the Eon Devourers, entities that feast on realities. To survive, Devon must rely on the only skills he knows: manipulating, fighting, betraying, and unraveling the hidden threads that weave the multiverse. Yet, with every truth he uncovers, he draws closer to a deadly question: Was his grandfather a willing accomplice… or a sacrificial pawn? But it doesn't matter, the system arrives. And with it, the answers, like shadows finally revealing their form.
