He is no longer just a man. He is a hunter. And now, he has a war to fight. Because Cain—the self-proclaimed king of the new world—is building an empire of blood and submission. He is a predator with a mind as sharp as his powers, gathering armies, bending the weak to his will. And worse—he isn’t the greatest threat anymore. The dead are changing. The Hollow Ones are rising. And if Brian doesn’t stop them, there won’t be a world left to fight for. --- A brutal, evolutionary horror-thriller where survival means becoming something monstrous. ✔ Primal instincts clash with human morality. ✔ The war for dominance is no longer just among the living. ✔ The dead are watching.
