The Runnymede Estate is a neighbourhood on the brink-a maze of crumbling towers steeped in hopelessness and haunted by shadows no one dares name. When the mysterious Headhunters Barbershop suddenly opens its doors in a long-abandoned shop space, it brings more than sharp fades and fresh cuts. Its barbers are warriors, wielding ancient tools and arcane knowledge in a battle against the darkness consuming the estate from the inside out.

For Zachary Ellison, life on Runnymede is a waking nightmare-until he's drawn into the Headhunters' fight. But this is no ordinary barbershop, and no ordinary conflict. An ancient evil stalks the estate's hallways, its grip tightening on both the buildings and the souls within. To survive, Zachary must do more than fight-he's been chosen to Chronicle the fate of the Runnymede Estate. Its survival, and the preservation of its story, may rest solely in his hands. And he must join the battle now, before the tale is lost to the void forever.
