A young champion declares war against a tyrannical empire, bringing him into conflict with the woman he once loved, in this dark fantasy adventure.

After years of battling elite soldiers, slaying soul-crushing monsters, and acquiring powerful combat skills and destructive mana abilities, the realization of Zeke Blackwood's destiny is imminent. Everything he's endured since being reborn into a system of troll-infested caves has been to prepare him for ascension into the Ethereal Realm, where he'll stand against the forces of darkness that threaten all existence.

Despite his near limitless power, Zeke still has obligations to the multicultural kingdom he founded, in which beastkin, kobolds, centaurs, elves, and other races fight for freedom and justice for all creatures. He refuses to leave his people at the mercy of the Imperium, a fascist regime built on the backs of the enslaved.

The Imperium is led by those who believe humans are superior to every other sentient species throughout the realm. Their forces are ruthless, and none more so than the Radiant Host: zealots devoted to the Sun Goddess, who are more than willing to kill and die in her name. And Abby Summers, once Zeke's companion and lover, is the Host's High Inquisitor.

But Zeke's armies are on the offense, tearing down one Imperium stronghold after another, freeing the subjugated, and slaughtering anyone who dares oppose them. They'll stop at nothing and spare no one—even Abby . . .
