Ethan Morrison was just a programmer. At least, that's what everyone believed. His billionaire wife pitied him. Her business partner mocked him. The whole city laughed at the ordinary man who somehow married the most powerful woman alive. Then his daughter fell sick, and a blood test proved she was never his. His wife's so called business partner had him run off the road and left him paralyzed. And Clara? She shook hands with the man who shattered her husband's spine and called it a business decision. From his wheelchair, Ethan picked up his phone and dialed a number buried deep in his contacts. A cold, powerful voice answered. Three words: "I'll be there." Nobody asked why a woman who controlled half the country's wealth dropped everything for a simple programmer. Nobody asked because nobody knew. But they were all about to find out that the man they treated like a bug beneath their shoes was the one person in this city they should have never touched.

With one strapped to his wrist in the form of a mysterious watch, Myles must now face a brutal new reality: hunted by demons, betrayed by humans, and haunted by what he's becoming.
