CRUCIBLE OF SHADOWS
living in a realm where power dictates worth, Kairos Wilder is nothing more than a shadow—a demi-demon with mortal blood tainting his veins, he has spent his life watching the strong trample the weak. But Kairos is no ordinary outcast. Beneath his unassuming exterior lies a razor-sharp mind, a strategist who sees the cracks in the foundation of the demon realm’s brutal hierarchy.
For years, he has studied the rulers of the underworld, their strengths, their flaws, their greed. The oppressive regime that enslaves demi-demons and the powerless is built on arrogance—and arrogance breeds vulnerability. Kairos knows that to change the world, he must first play its cruel game.
Through manipulation, deception, and calculated ruthlessness, he begins his ascent. He weaves his way into the ranks of power, turning enemies into pawns and allies into weapons. But as his revolution inches closer to reality, the darkness within him grows. Every betrayal, every sacrifice, every drop of blood spilled in the name of change pushes him further from the man he once was.
How far is he willing to go to break the chains of oppression? And when the dust settles, will his rebellion bring justice—or simply replace one tyrant with another?
A tale of power, deception, and the high price of ambition—step into the world of Kairos Wilder, where the line between hero and monster is razor-thin.
