Laurent bukanlah pahlawan. Dia bukan seseorang yang akan mengulurkan tangan untuk menolong tanpa alasan. Hidup dalam bayang-bayang tragedi masa kecilnya, ia tumbuh dengan luka yang tidak pernah sembuh-dendam yang terus membara. Kehilangan kedua orang tuanya di tangan Elric, sahabat yang berkhianat, meninggalkan luka yang lebih dalam dari sekadar kematian. Namun, hidupnya berubah lebih buruk ketika kekuatan gelap yang tak terkendali mulai mengalir dalam dirinya. Kekuatan yang melukai, menghancurkan, bahkan membunuh tanpa ia sadari. Kekuatan yang membuatnya lebih berbahaya dari siapa pun yang pernah ia benci. Mencari jawaban, Laurent melangkah ke dunia yang lebih kelam dari yang ia bayangkan. Rahasia darahnya, warisan ras kuno, dan konspirasi yang lebih besar dari balas dendamnya sendiri mulai terungkap. Namun, dunia tidak menawarkan pilihan yang mudah. Mereka ingin menggunakannya-sebagai senjata, sebagai alat, sebagai kunci yang dapat mengubah segalanya. Tapi Laurent tidak akan membiarkan dirinya dikendalikan. Ketika bayangan masa lalu dan kekuatan kegelapan terus menelannya, ia harus memilih: tunduk pada takdir yang dipaksakan padanya atau menghancurkan segala sesuatu yang menghalanginya, termasuk batasan moral yang pernah ia pegang. Dalam dunia di mana tidak ada yang benar-benar baik atau jahat, Laurent akan berjalan di jalannya sendiri-dengan atau tanpa darah yang tertumpah di tangannya.
