Once, the world ran on circuitry and spellwork, until a single lightning-struck weapon shattered the sky and birthed something far worse than war.
Five years later, humanity survives in the Age of Beasts.
Monsters pour from the Veil; a shifting mass of darkness only legendary Heroes dare enter. They fight. They die. The Veil keeps growing.
Logan Lee never wanted to be one of them. All he's ever wanted is quiet, distance from the world's expectations and the weight of its despair.
But when the darkness becomes too much to ignore, Logan steps into the Veil.
And discovers the monsters cannot touch him.
His blood burns them from the inside out.
Marked by the Gods and bound to a prophecy, Logan is declared the Night Bringer. The one destined to wield the legendary Shadowspun Scythe and cleanse the world.
The problem?
Logan doesn't want to save anyone. In fact, his newfound power is the key to a vengeance he has long burned for.
And if the Gods truly blessed him... why does his power feel more like the beginning of the end?
