In far off Drumwick, where kings have fallen,
The Commonwealth reigns mighty and supreme.
Marius alone, one of royal blood,
Opposes the Prime, whose armies spread far
Across the vanquished, conquered, Respin state.
Laird Protector of Old Drumwick, he sits,
Beside himself, lost within his own thoughts,
A living relic of a time long past.
In misty mountains, he waits at dawn,
For one to succeed where he himself failed . . .

The Divine Games: Book I - The Torn Page
For a thousand years, gods and devils clashed in endless war. The gods triumphed. The devils fell. But victory came at a cost. Three eternal beings the Creator, the Preserver, and the Destroyer stand above all worship. When the devils begged for one last chance, it was the Destroyer who answered. He gave them a book a book of games where battles were fought not with swords, but with fate itself. The gods sealed it away forever. All but one page. Torn from the book's heart, the page carries a power no god can control. Cursed to survive, a wretched devil carried it into the human world. Through that page, his soul lived on passing from conqueror to conqueror, from Alexander to Napoleon, bending history itself. Now the gods sense the truth: the game is not over. Their answer? Create their own chosen humans to play against the devil's soul. The world is the board. Humanity the pieces. And the first move... has already been made.Complete

Yet in battle after battle, he witnesses the Empire's sacred rites turned into engines of slaughter, and faith itself twisted into a weapon.
