"Thank me not. Your hell is only just beginning" - Diablos

Haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his sister and ex-girlfriend, Leon Blaze struggles to move forward. Their cryptic farewell letter urged him to forget and let go, but the wounds refuse to heal.

Together, they unravel a hidden realm teeming with fantastical creatures. Leon uncovers an astonishing truth: the soul of the legendary hero, Diablos, is sealed within him. Guided by Katie, they must master this extraordinary power to thwart Death's sinister plan of resetting all existence.

With brainwashed friends hot on their heels and buried emotions clawing at his sanity, Leon faces his darkest nightmares in a race against time, in this enthralling urban fantasy.
