In a kingdom ruled by power and lineage, Ralph de Morgan finds himself locked in the shadows of a formidable prison, where crime lords and fallen warriors wait in dim cells. Once the son of a disgraced knightly family, Ralph enters the depths of the king's dungeon to claim a post left vacant by his father's death-a post that may hold the only hope of survival and strength he has left. Armed with a mysterious gift of eternal life and a fierce resolve, Ralph is determined to do more than merely survive. He seeks to learn the deadly combat secrets hidden among the infamous criminals locked inside, hoping to master the feared "Thunder Path," a forbidden martial art that drains one's life force in exchange for immense power. But Ralph's journey is rife with peril as he encounters rival guards, manipulative prisoners, and a looming darkness lying in the heart of the dungeon. Alone in his night shifts, surrounded by whispers of power, betrayal, and rebellion, he must tread carefully, for one wrong move could cost him the future he fights for-or worse, his only chance to rewrite his family's fate.
