“You have thirty days to reveal yourself.” That was the letter Knox Rivera received after inheriting an Empire built on blood, money hungry parasites, and secrets. What do you do when the brother of the man whose throne you inherited places a target on your back and uses your own name as bait to control you? When powerful enemies don’t see you worthy of owning what they believe belongs to them? Fresh out of prison, Knox is dragged into a deadly world where betrayal knows no limits, loyalty becomes too expensive, and every mistake costs blood. But while the city sees him as an unworthy heir… They fail to realize they are awakening something far more dangerous than the empire itself.

In an alternative universe wars are taking place between humans and ghouls. A thousand years ago, humans built a siege to keep the ghouls trapped inside and stop them from attacking human villages. Fifty years ago, the siege cracked, and ghouls flooded the human world, destroying many cities. They disguise themselves as humans or animals when they infiltrate cities. Then, they reveal their true forms, attack, and burn everything to the ground. Scientists built a barrier system to keep ghouls out, and governments trained warriors to use high-tech devices to fight them. The strongest group of warriors, who fought bravely for the last decade, are called the Knights of Askalan. They fought the battle that took place ten years ago, protecting their city from ghouls, and are now the heroes and protectors of the city. Ali is a 21-year-old fresh graduate. On the day of his graduation, he was having fun with his friends and taking pictures during the ceremony when ghouls attacked from the sea. Somehow they broke the barrier.

He tried to get them to safety amid the chaos, but they were trapped. So, he decided to sacrifice himself, leading the ghouls away from his family. The ghouls surrounded him and attacked one by one. Just as he thought he was finished, a system screen appeared, giving him a choice: start over the day with new armor or carry on and die.

At nineteen, he discovered the truth: the Star wasn't a blessing but a beacon, calling to the Devourers, cosmic horrors that feast on divine essence.
