David: The Records of ADAM (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798181705753)

For over two thousand years, David Spears has carried the weight of a curse he never asked for: immortality. Once known as Cain, the first murderer, David has spent centuries trying to outrun the sins of his past and redefine himself. What began as a punishment has become a lifetime of regret, isolation, and a desperate attempt to protect humanity from the monsters he once believed deserved only destruction.

But the line between monster and human has never been as clear as he thought.

After the death of Lucifer and the collapse of Hell's fragile balance, a new threat emerges. A group of Hell's princes seeks to overthrow their fallen kingdom, while a dangerous substance known as Crucifix spreads through the world. Originally created by David's own organization, the Eternal Flame, as a weapon against supernatural beings, Crucifix has been twisted into something far darker - a poison capable of destroying the very creatures David once hunted.

Now living in the strange peace after an apocalyptic conflict, David finds himself pulled back into the chaos alongside Aria - a werewolf struggling with her own identity, her fractured soul, and the burden of leadership. Their unlikely friendship becomes the foundation of a fragile alliance between humans and supernatural beings.

When outbreaks of corrupted creatures and Crucifix trafficking threaten the city of West Ridge, David and Aria investigate the source, encountering vampires, demons, and enemies from David's ancient past. Their search forces David to confront the consequences of his choices, including the truth behind his curse and the role he played in creating the very conflict now threatening the world.

As old enemies return and the forces of Hell begin moving again, David must decide whether he is truly capable of changing - or whether the darkness that has followed him for centuries is the only thing he has ever been.

Because saving the world may require him to embrace the monster he spent his entire existence trying to escape.
