Fradphore is a hunter of monsters, but his crusade is not born of a noble vow. It is forged in the crucible of a hatred so profound, it has become the very essence of his being. For years, he has wielded his family's cursed war hammer, an heirloom of vengeance, against the creatures of the night that stole everything from him.

​But when a simple hunt leads him to a forgotten grimoire and a malevolent chalice, Fradphore uncovers a horrifying truth: his entire life has been a lie. He is not a hunter, but a jailer, and his hatred is the final lock on the ancient prison of the Strigoi, the very monster that murdered his family.

​Now, with the world on the brink of an age of darkness, Fradphore faces a terrible choice. He can continue his family's legacy, becoming a monster himself to contain the Strigoi for eternity, or he can choose his own freedom—and unleash an unspeakable evil upon the world. Can a man defined by hatred find a different path, or will he become the very weapon his enemy needs to break free?
