Chapter 4: Twists in the Shadows
Ezra soon discovered that Nyx wasn't the only entity involved. Each ledger was connected to a different specter, each with its own agenda. Nyx thrived on chaos, while Silas's specter, Umbra, sought domination through despair. The two specters fed off their respective wielders' actions, pushing them into a game of life and death.
The stakes escalated when Amelia found herself caught between Ezra and Silas, unaware of their supernatural battle. As she got closer to uncovering Ezra's identity, he faced an impossible choice: erase Amelia's memory of her investigation or let her piece together the truth, risking exposure.
Silas, on the other hand, set a trap, using his ledger to frame Ezra for a series of grisly murders. To clear his name, Ezra would need to outwit Silas, all while keeping the ledger's power hidden.
