The Blackthrone family, once the most powerful force on Earth, was mercilessly hunted down and destroyed by the eight National Hunters. Seraphina Blackthrone, the last matriarch, was slain, but her son, Lucian, miraculously escaped. Branded as a mere survivor, he vanished into the shadows—until now. Two years later, Lucian returns, no longer a helpless child but a warrior forged in darkness. Wielding Obsidian Oath, the legendary Blackthrone sword, and the forbidden techniques of his ancestors, he embarks on a relentless quest for vengeance. One by one, the National Hunters will fall. One by one, he will reclaim his family’s legacy. But as his power grows, so does the chaos in the world. When an ancient god descends to annihilate humanity, Lucian is forced to make an impossible choice—will he remain a hunter of men, or will he transcend his vengeance and embrace a fate greater than any mortal? The path of blood and conquest will lead him to the truth of his lineage, the secret of the Blackthrone family’s dark powers, and his ultimate destiny... as the new Demon God of Darkness.
