The Leviathan

Summary and Characters

Summary and Characters

It's the year 4830 AD. The world is a wasteland of technology, decimated dreams and twisted reality. The human race is barely surviving after the Nuclear Wars have destroyed much of the world's continents.

The Kaulitz Empire, a shining ray of hope for the last of humanity rose up from the ashes of the old world. Its valiant line of Kaulitz kings has protected it for a thousand years. But insatiable greed has corrupted and weakened the nobles leading them to create a Caste system based on the color of the eyes.

Half of the world now lies in darkness. And in this darkness, strange creatures were born. They lurk in the shadows and in the dark carcass of ruined cities. They raise their malevolent eyes to the fortified walls of the Empire, waiting for the golden kings to crumble in their golden thrones, waiting for a sign that the Kaulitz bloodline is failing.

Miles away, twin princes were born in the cruel, scrutinizing glare of a royal court. One, the light haired Tom, a strong warrior but possessed no powers of the royal bloodline. And the other, the frail raven-haired Bill, bears a dark power stronger than any kings has ever lived. One of them will ascend the golden throne to fulfill an ancient prophecy that will either bring lasting peace or the eventual downfall of the empire.

On a faraway land, a black magician named Gustav is journeying across continents. He carries a forbidden secret that will imperil the scions of the golden kings. On his trail, Georg, a humanoid, is determined to stop him before he reaches the empire's capital. Both will have to outwit the other in a race against time that will either save lives or end humanity.

In the forbidden section of the empire, velvet whispers are exchanged in the dark. The Red Light district speaks of Alicia, a beautiful untouchable virgin with an angelic voice and light golden eyes. And her time is almost up as the bidding for her chastity drew close.

In the lurid vicinity of the Black District, Viktoria, Hayliie and Pia, the feared Black Widow assassins scours the slave markets looking for a man who kidnapped their mother. But in the midst of chaos they stumble upon a dangerous organization that allied itself with evil creatures from the dark.
