When the sun sets, the boundary between the human world and the supernatural shatters, transforming the night into a living hell overrun by monstrous creatures. Humanity's only hope lies with the Espers—individuals capable of awakening and mastering their spiritual energy to stand against the rulers of darkness. Ryan wants nothing to do with that world. Choosing a quiet life far from danger, he keeps his head down and avoids anything that might drag him into the endless war. But fate has other plans. A devastating tragedy crashes into his life without warning, threatening everyone he cares about and forcing him to confront a nightmare he can no longer escape. Standing on the edge of despair, consumed by grief and fury, will Ryan finally find a reason to fight and grow stronger? Or will the immense power sleeping deep within him awaken before he learns how to control it—bringing ruin not only to his enemies, but to himself as well?
