Monsters stalk the streets of Arcopolis, dragging children into a terrifying shadow world that no ordinary human can survive. The city’s only protector, the brilliant vigilante Haggard West, once held the darkness at bay—but he is dead.

Just when all hope seems lost, salvation arrives in the most unexpected form: a twelve-year-old demigod known as Battling Boy. Sent to Arcopolis as part of a rite of passage, Battling Boy is armed with ancient powers, divine strength, and the courage of a hero still discovering who he is meant to become.

As towering beasts rise and fear tightens its grip on the city, Battling Boy must step into a role far greater than himself.
