9 parts Ongoing Royal is a foster kid who doesn't know what he is, only that light bends to his will, and demons fall when he hunts. No one taught him magic. He didn't grow up in a coven or study spells. He learned to survive. To fight. To weaponize light using science, not magic. When the light first erupted from him, it didn't save anyone. The night his foster parents died, Royal's power exploded from him without warning. Light surged from his hands, wild and instinctive, but it wasn't enough. The demon walked through it. His family didn't survive. And Royal ran. Now, he tracks demons across cities, relentless and alone. But when one demon breaks the pattern, fleeing instead of fighting, Royal follows it west to San Francisco. But what waits there isn't just another fight. It's a world he never knew existed.
