"The hour has come round at last, and the rough beast slouches towards Corban to be born." In those first nights, when man crawled out of caves to see daylight, the planet Corban was awake and ready for their arrival. Over the course of the last 11,000 years, Corban has been ransacked, pillaged, destroyed and exploited by religious fanatics and corrupt Empires. The planet, covered in 90% toxic tuorium filled water, is notorious for its most awaited attraction, the Fourth Temple. And Corbanians tremble as stories of the Dakshun, the destroyer- proliferate through their ranks. Some say his name is Krish, son of Vinyaracail Nelson, and others yet differ.

1096. The Pope calls for holy war, crusades, promising forgiveness, glory, and heaven to any man who takes up the Cross. When a young villager joins the First Crusade, it's not out of faith, it's because there's nothing left to lose. His parents are dead. His village forgotten. And his only friend, the reckless and burning Mathias, believes marching east will cleanse their sins in blood. But as the crusade descends into chaos and cruelty, Raimond begins to see the truth: the Cross he wears is no shield, it's a brand. One that marks him, and everyone around him, for violence he can't justify. Haunted by what he's witnessed, torn between loyalty and conscience, Raimond must choose: follow the path to Jerusalem... or walk away from everything-including the only friend he has left. Faith. Fire. Betrayal. The road to salvation is paved in blood. Disclaimer: This is a work of historical fiction. It includes depictions of real events and belief systems through fictional characters.
