The mightiest empire the world has ever seen is crumbling.
Far away and close by, enemies of the empire amass power. The nomadic tribes of Pehmato are uniting under a single voice for the first time in centuries. The heirs to the subjugate kingdom of Miihing threaten to spark a revolution. Long-standing peace with the feudal lords of Hassal comes under threat at the death of a diplomat. A prince searches for answers about the death of his sister, and finds decadence and corruption where he once saw glory.
For love and ambition, revenge and freedom, princes, warriors, scholars, servants and priestesses all take a stand. A change is coming, but what will be left when it’s done?

Wheat City - Zero Hour
Every empire ends at gunfire speed. The streets of Wheat City burn with chants, lies, and the glow of a thousand screens. Vibe Groovy rides the fury of the crowds toward power while Ator, watching from the high glass towers, plays his next move in silence. Squishie, Saccharine, Bomber, Red, Rango, and Name converge for one last raid on the corrupt fortress that built them all-Fiesta Tower-a mission that will rewrite what life and death mean in their city. When betrayal shatters the plan and blood hits the marble, Squishie falls... and rises again, reborn through the god of war himself. Ares walks among mortals, bullets freeze in the air, and the cost of resurrection ripples through every soul left standing. From boardrooms to backstreets, from divine intervention to human ruin, Zero Hour marks the breaking point of the Wheat City saga- where gods return, heroes fall, and the future decides who deserves to live forever.Complete
