Stalker Class

Among the Stalkers, the Smiling Shadow is one of the most ruthless hunters of children. Its laughter is never joyful; it rings hollow and crooked, like an echo that rips away trust.
The Smiling Shadow prefers words over claws: cruel taunts, sharp insults, and ruthless threats that cut deeper than any strike. Its purpose is always the same, wear down a child’s will until there’s nothing left to fight with.
What’s most unsettling is its shifting form. Sometimes it shrinks into a flimsy, almost pitiful shadow, pretending to be weak. Other times it rises tall and monstrous, a towering figure that may be nothing more than a mask of power. No one knows what its real form looks like, if it even has one, because its very nature is deception.

When a creature steps out of the shed and vows to take Ethan in three nights, something inside him breaks. His own fear pulls him toward a fate he cannot escape.
Included with the Blackwyn newsletter, The Shadow Almanac is your first guide into the Shadowed World, revealing the behaviors and hidden lore of the shadows that haunt Ethan’s journey.
