In a world ruled by blood and ancient power, silence is the deadliest weapon. The birth of the four Daemonhart brothers was marked by a crimson moon and a sky that bled. Three cried out to claim their place in the world: Cedric the Peacekeeper, Kendrick the Wild Star, and Frederick the Clever Shadow. But the fourth child, Draco, was born into a silence that chilled the souls of even the most powerful demons. Named by a father who loves him and shunned by a mother who fears him, Draco is the enigma of the legendary Daemonhart family. He does not speak, but he hears everything—every greedy thought, every hidden lie, and every secret plot within the halls of Vorell Manor. While the world sees a "broken" boy, they fail to see the iron fortress of his mind. Not even Hector Daemonhart, the most powerful telepath in the realms, can breach Draco’s mental walls. As the family empire faces sabotage from rivals and his father embarks on a perilous journey, Draco must learn to tame the chaos within his soul. They think he is silent because he has nothing to say. They are wrong. When the Daemonhart legacy begins to crumble, the world will finally hear him. Xuxxy_chronicles

Quando a vila humana de Elara Wynveldt é destruída por criaturas feitas de sombra, ela descobre, da forma mais cruel possível, que carrega dentro de si uma luz proibida, antiga, instável e poderosa demais para pertencer ao mundo dos mortais. O uso dessa força abre uma fenda entre reinos e a lança em um território onde a noite é viva, as sombras obedecem… e a sobrevivência não é um direito.

Entre sombras vivas, rituais proibidos e uma atração tão letal quanto irresistível, esta é uma história sobre poder, identidade e o preço de amar aquilo que o mundo insiste em chamar de erro.
