Synopsis
Most kids worry about homework and bullies. Ren worried about the monster that woke up inside him the day his powers emerged. The one that whispers sweet temptations every time someone crosses him. The one that finds it so easy to make people dance like marionettes.
Power corrupts. Absolute power? It devours.
Now Ren can have anything—wealth, worship, control over world leaders with a single thought. But here's the twisted truth: getting everything you want is the fastest way to lose everything you are. Each mind he bends, each will he breaks, hollows him out a little more.
There's only one way to silence the monster. One path to redemption.
But can you kill what you've become when that monster... is you?
Some gifts are curses in disguise. Some heroes are villains waiting to happen. And some stories will make you question everything you thought you knew about power, morality, and the thin line between salvation and damnation.
Are you brave enough to walk in the shadows with Ren Lewis? Or will you become another puppet in his twisted game?
The choice is yours. If you still have one.
