He was brought to the construction at a very young age- the prison of various supernatural creatures. He soon learns that he is something else. Some would call him a monster- others would call him a demon. But he wasn't born like this.
Him and multiple other troupes are send off in search for something nobody knows exactly what is. The Gyford family will stop at nothing to find this valuable source- handing it over to a person who will use its power for their own good.
Trying to balance friendships and hunger- demonic instincts- Shawn soon finds himself stuck in a world that isn't as ordinary as it seems.

Shawn is soon shallowed up into an unexplainable tsunami of ignorance, battle, old stories, lies, dangerous magic and love- finding something that may be the answer to everything and finding out that what he wanted most, isn't what he thought it was.
