Meet Ovidio Triste. He's cold, charming, handsome, calculating, and - oh yes - has complete world domination. Ovidio the Warmonger has blackmailed, bribed, and beaten his way to the top. In an unstable world where people are born with unique powers, Oddities, it's kill or be killed.
But now that he's reached the top, he's beginning to feel a bit disheartened. And when a menacing dream foreshadows the demise of his only true friend, by his own hands, Ovidio is forced to change his heart - to change his mind.
