"The gods abandoned us. The orbs are waking. And something far worse is about to open its eyes." Palmer has never truly belonged—not to the noble vampires who see him as an abomination, nor to the humans who fear what he is. Bound by an ancient oath, he serves the Montgomery family, protectors of a relic powerful enough to decide the fate of every living thing. But something is wrong. The factions—skinwalkers, wraiths, werewolves—they’re not just hunting anymore. They’re organizing. They’re preparing. The Church, once a pillar of faith, now whispers with the voices of things that should not exist. And at the center of it all… is him. "Your blood is neither holy nor cursed. You don’t belong anywhere… And that is exactly why you terrify them. They never saw you coming." His past is clawing its way back—a twin brother who once swore they would protect each other, now his most ruthless enemy. A mother whose ambition stretches beyond life and death. A secret so dangerous, even the gods turned their backs on it. "You’ve spent centuries suppressing it, haven’t you? But you can feel it now, can’t you? The thing that’s waking up inside you?" They think they’ve seen his limits. They think they know what he is. They’re dead wrong. Because Palmer isn’t just a vampire. He is something else. Something not meant to exist. And when he finally stops holding back—no one will be able to stop him.

But something is different. The necklace… it came with him. And it isn't just cursed—it's hungry. In a world where cultivation determines fate, where families backstab each other with a smile, and where the strong crush the weak without hesitation, Lin Feng should be doomed. He has no talent, no allies, and no path forward. But he does have one thing—a mind that isn’t nearly as broken as people think. So let them underestimate him. Let them sneer, laugh, and scheme. Lin Feng will play the fool, twist their expectations, and weave his own web from the shadows. After all, when the world sees you as a joke, they never see the knife coming.
