What went into the woods was a teenager. What crawled out was something the dark now fears. When 15-year-old Ren Ishida takes a dare into the infamous Silverleaf Forest, he disappears without a trace. Hours later, he stumbles back-shaken, scarred, and changed. He speaks of shadow demons, a realm of bone and flame, and a silver necklace that both saved his life and seared his flesh. No one believes him. But Ren knows the truth. The necklace left a mark deeper than any scar. The creatures whispered a name he doesn't understand-vampire prince. Now silver burns his skin. Shadows follow him. And his blood may be the key to an ancient war between realms. As dark powers awaken and Ren's human life unravels, he must choose: run from the curse... or embrace the monster he's becoming. Some destinies are chosen. Others are carved in blood. ##This is an original series from gakimangga. all rights reserved.
