Shane Grey

Shane Grey is the eldest son of Never’s formidable mayor, Samuel Grey, and the presumed heir to the family’s legacy. Now an adult grown, he is everything a Grey is expected to be — Confident, intelligent, and unwavering in his sense of duty. He rides well, shoots straight, and speaks with the same silvered tongue as his father. But beneath the polished exterior, there is a quiet, gnawing uncertainty.

Unlike his younger siblings, who move through the world with an eerie, unspoken awareness, Shane feels ordinary. No flickers of unseen power, no whispers in the dark. Just flesh, blood, and expectation. He does not know that his father is a demon, his mother a witch, and that whatever dark inheritance was meant for him never arrived. Yet, despite this lack of supernatural gifts, Samuel Grey still grooms him for leadership, speaking often of legacy, of ensuring the family’s influence over Never remains unbroken.

The one thing that unsettles Shane most is the study in Grey Manor, where his father keeps his great black ledger. He has never been allowed to read it, though he’s seen his father turn its pages with careful reverence. He once asked if his name was written inside. His father only smiled.
