Odashen. Kamdemahn. Giant's Bane. Oldest One. On the worlds of the Avatar Alliance I am called many names and I am considered many things. Some see me as a holy warrior with a purpose so powerful, not even Death can stop me. Others think me a tormented wanderer, driven mad by a horrible fate and left to travel the wastes for eternity. Yet others see me as a soulless creature of otherworldly vengeance, returning from the grave to wreak havoc on my enemies. From my point of view, I am ALL of these things. Yet, I am none of them. My name is Max Niekro and I am Risen. I have been summoned back from the grave for one purpose and one purpose alone. I'm here to kill Velkin. Join the Risen juggernaut in this sequel to Risen: Darklight and the third book in the Risen saga as he continues his quest to defend Earth and the living of the galaxy by taking his war to the stars, where he will face even greater challenges to his effort to rid the universe of the rapacious Velkin, a giant alien race bent on consuming every living sentient being they find before sucking out their home world's life force.

Enter a world where Humanity and her mutant offspring, the Dark Edge, live side by side, separated only by an elaborate conspiracy to keep the Dark Edge secret known simply as the Shield. A conspiracy that's about to fall as a group of psionics called the Brotherhood of Advanced Intellects plots to destroy mundane Humanity and supplant them with a super race of their own! Join Mordecai, a Lone Gunman, a powerful psionic tasked with preserving the Shield, Ingamon Lash, his vampire companion, and Tragedy McMaster, a human detective as they struggle to stop the Brotherhood from launching an all out war between Humanity and the Dark Edge.

Following the ominous events of "The Traveler in Red: Warlords of the Withered Land", D'Spayr, Nygeia, Lumynn and The Traveler in Red discover ever darker and deadlier secrets in the ongoing war between the foremost of the mighty outlaw warlords on the dying, giant planet of Teshiwahur! Alien demons, mutant mercenaries, criminal syndicates and pirates with interdimensional ships vie for dominance in a crumbling port-city beside an ocean of dangerous marine monsters as The Knight and his allies fight for Justice in a land where Time is broken! ********************************************************************************************* Astounding cover art by Stefanie Saw: @seventhstar

Legend tells us of a powerful race of warriors who called themselves Jinn, who trained and dwelled in remote academies spread far and wide across Albion. For thousands of years they protected and watched over our galaxy. The source of their unnatural powers has been speculated for centuries, but it has been assumed by the Tower of Scholars to have come from their eponymous suits, called Avatars. Ancient alien technology like none seen on any known planet. No one, not even the Scholars can tell for certain where the Jinn originated, if they were ever truly mortal or just machine. Now they are just past-time stories and rumors. But a rare few know the truth. Once, they were legion. Now...there is only one.
