Everyone thought he was a useless son-in-law, a penniless man living off his wife’s family. For years, he endured the insults and the relentless scorn from his in-laws, especially his mother-in-law, who never missed a chance to humiliate him. “You’re nothing but a parasite,” she spat one day. “Leave my daughter at once! She deserves someone better.” And so he did… but not in the way anyone expected. Three days later, a convoy of luxury cars arrived at their doorstep. Security guards opened the door with military precision. Out stepped the same “useless” husband but now in a designer suit, wearing an air of command and confidence that silenced everyone. The truth had finally surfaced: he wasn’t just rich, he was the wealthiest man in the world, a hidden titan who had chosen a quiet life for reasons only he understood. The mother-in-law turned pale. “Please,” she begged, trembling. “Don’t leave my daughter. We didn’t know who you really were…” Too late. The tables have turned, and the man once ridiculed is now the one holding all the power. But he doesn’t seek revenge, only justice and respect.

Seventeen-year-old Rune Weaver thought his biggest problem was surviving senior year at New Haven High. Then a shadow creature attacked him in the school parking lot, and a mysterious man saved his life by throwing fire from his bare hands. Now Rune knows the truth: he is descended from an ancient line of sorcerers called Etherwind, and the darkness that destroyed his ancestors five hundred years ago has returned. He is not alone. Four other teenagers across the city have just discovered their own magical heritage, each from a different Etherwind bloodline. Together they are the last hope against Grimfall, an ancient force of living darkness that feeds on fear and despair. But learning magic is not like the movies. Their powers are wild and dangerous, and every spell they cast brings them closer to the madness that consumed their ancestors. As the shadows spread across New Haven, turning ordinary people into mindless thralls, Rune and his unlikely allies must master their abilities before Grimfall completes its return. They have six weeks until the convergence, when the barrier between worlds falls completely. Six weeks to become the sorcerers their bloodlines demand. Six weeks to save everyone they love from being swallowed by eternal night.
