In a blackened world humanity remains oblivious to the existence of demonic monsters and supernatural beings working in the shadows.

In all this, Valen’s childhood was stolen by the Shadow Stalker, a serial killer who taught him one lesson: that the world was divided into predators and prey. 

He strived to live a normal life, despite the fact that he was far from normal, but his plan backfired.

Now, trapped in a nightmare gallery, Valen is the subject of a brutal ritual that awakens a primordial hunger within him. 

To survive, he must embrace the very monstrousness he’d spent a lifetime hiding.

I believe I was 18 years old while my peers were 15, but at that time we were all in the 11th grade of high school.


I was practically an aleinted outcast at the time, fresh out of well, every metal institution the district had to offer, the lone surviver of the infamously feared and hated Shadow Stalker with an MO of kidnapping children and leaving a dark rose at the scene of the abduction.


Those children were never seen again, and even till now, it is believed that I know where they are.


I do not; I barely remember anything about my own past, only the things she taught me.


She taught me that I was different from natural prey, something more. But prey, even though weak, had the advantage of community, and to survive in this complex community, I must learn to blend in, and I have indeed come to enjoy 'blending in'.
