The Oath of the Demon Hunter

Branded a monster’s son for his silver eyes, twelve-year-old Ash faces execution. The continent’s greatest swordsman, demon hunter Silas, is betrayed and murdered; a fragment of his soul enters Ash, who escapes the flames. Ash unravels his family’s ancient demon-binding puzzle and protects his sister Ella’s inheritance.

His young body cannot contain Silas’s strength, yet his Silvermoon Slash shatters a coffin bearing Ella’s name, revealing the soul within. At Silas’s memorial, Ash confronts old enemies and defeats dark hunters. He uncovers a conspiracy: Abyss Lord Moyuan and Order insider Morris have raised monsters and manipulated hunting contracts for thirty years.

Ash’s father Aldric discovered the truth first and was framed as a traitor. Hours after their reunion, Aldric dies shielding Ash from Moyuan. Ash and Silas unite beneath a silver moon, slay Moyuan, and expose Morris, vindicating Aldric and Silas.

Ash rejects the Silverblade title, choosing to earn glory under his own name. Silas returns control to Ash; a broken sword recognizes him as its master. Ash takes Ella south to see flowers.

Then the scene returns to the execution night. A silver palm mark and another pair of silver eyes in the shadows signal this is not the end.
