Joining a long lost companion, a young champion embarks on a quest that will increase his godlike power--and challenge his humanity--in this dark fantasy.
Zeke Blackwood wields mana beyond imagination. A human/demon hybrid, he walks the path of arcane destruction, slaughtering monstrous and mythical creatures in one conflict after another. With every victory, he's becoming more powerful--and less human. But despite the devastation he's left in his wake, he's also saved lives and become the reluctant king of a diverse community of beastkin, elves, kobolds, and other species. He protects them even as he follows the will of the god Oberon toward his destiny as a warrior in a forthcoming battle that could destroy the very fabric of reality.
Journeying through the Kingdom of El'Kireth, Zeke finds a land embroiled in civil war. Armies of vampires and undead clash with one faction determined to expand their empire and turn all living beings into zombies. Leading the opposition is Zeke's old companion Talia Nightingale, who wants her people to survive but not at the cost of condemning everyone in the realm to undeath. She needs Zeke's help to not only stop the war but also save her wounded friend Adriel.
Now, Zeke and Talia must conquer the trials of a dungeon to find the Seed of Life and Death. Inhuman, demonic, and unnatural beings attack them at every turn, but the dungeon's true dangers come from the pair's very own souls, born from their traumatic pasts and prophesizing dark futures that threaten to consume them. And outside the dungeon, an enemy they long believed dead prepares to take his revenge . . .
