~~#184 in Paranormal~~ Slater Tross is given a second chance to live. It shouldn't happen like this. Instead of going to prison for his heinous crimes, he is being forced to join the Imperial Guard, Oltima's greatest force in terms of military power. But prior to his arrest, a peculiar mark appears on his left arm. A shady insignia, signaling control by a supernatural cult. With the Imperial Guard threatening his existence with failure and the omniscient cult to manipulate his every thought and movement, Slater has run out of options. He's just a teenager trying to survive.
