After the brutal loss of his beloved grandfather, Liam Hunter embarks on a harrowing journey into the heart of the Dark Forest, known as the Forest of Kyrell, with a singular goal: to gain the strength necessary to honor his grandfather's memory and to never lose anyone dear to him again.

At just ten years old, Liam is thrust into a world of darkness and malevolence, where he endures four grueling years of training and transformation. In this shadowy realm, he is reborn as a fierce warrior, driven by a relentless desire to eradicate every demon and ultimately confront the Demon King, Vorgath himself.

To achieve his formidable goal, Liam must forsake any emotional connections that could weaken his resolve. The once vibrant and joyful boy is transformed by his trials into a cold and unfeeling combatant, hardened by the harsh realities of his quest.

This is the story of Liam Hunter—the last wielder of dark magic—whose journey through darkness and sacrifice will shape him into a force of vengeance and resolve.

ShadowBound: The Need For Power

Liam and Ariana made their way back to the academy, the streets now bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun. Thankfully, they didn't run into any more thugs along the way. Ariana walked quietly, sneaking glances at Liam from time to time, while Liam strode forward, hands in his pockets, as if nothing had happened.

After a few moments, Ariana finally broke the silence. "Um… Liam."

"Yeah?" he replied without looking at her.

"I just… wanted to say thanks for what you did back there."

"Don't mention it," Liam said evenly. "They were following both of us. No need to thank me."

Ariana still hesitated. "Still, thanks. And… sorry I wasn't any help back there."

"There's no need to apologize either," Liam said. "Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. I'm not saying your strength is hiding."
