    As a young, smart, yet vulnerable teen Drake had been bullied by his 'alleged' cousins forcing him to turn to the only one that would listen to him and eventually help him seek justice, Drake turned to the demon Aroich for guidance. The Demon he would come to call ally, friend, and father.

    Now in the present... his cousins and their lovers shall learn the true meaning of vengeance by running the Gauntlet of Blood...
