Eldgrimm

Once, he was Sentinel—Guardian City's beloved protector. A hero in every sense. But when his family was brutally murdered by the crime syndicate he once swore to fight, something inside him broke. Justice wasn’t enough anymore. He needed revenge.

Now, he walks a darker path. Rebranded as Shade, he operates outside the law, hunting the city's worst like a predator in the night. But vengeance is a slippery slope, and the deeper he dives, the more he questions if he's truly fighting evil—or becoming it.

As he battles crime bosses, corrupt officials, and former allies who now see him as a threat, a new danger looms. Someone is pulling strings behind the scenes, orchestrating chaos on a level even he can’t comprehend. And amid the bloodshed, an old flame re-enters his life, challenging the last shred of humanity he has left.

Will he find redemption, or will he burn everything down with him?

Jade's voice trembled. "Oh my God."

"Oh, darling." She stepped forward, smiling. "You're finally becoming."

Shade realized something terrifying.
