A new, dark presence hovers over the city of Canton. After avoiding a nuclear holocaust, its citizens have enjoyed peace and order. Or so they thought. Now, they must brace the revenge of Aluria’s most powerful enemy and new protégé, Remnant.
Jason Conner has no time for another war. His plans to wed Princess Tessa Warren are spiraling into chaos, his company’s facing a takeover, and he risks losing the only family he has ever know. But when Remnant seeks to steal four mythical stones and open the Gate of Cessation, Jason has no choice but to unleash Aluria—the last of the Valdorte and the ancient power that lives within him.
As dark magic collides with divine force, Jason must face a haunting new enemy who’s mastered death itself. This time, losing won’t just cost him his life. It could doom the world.
