Shadow Syndicate: The Lesser's Trial

In a world where supernatural power is currency, Kai is a 'Lesser,' gifted with the useless ability to talk to rats. When the infamous Shadow Syndicate, a criminal empire thought to be destroyed, announces a global recruitment trial, it's his only chance to escape a dead-end life. But this isn't just an interview; it's a battle royale where failure means death, and even success might mean servitude to masters who clawed their way back from the grave.
