After his expedition to the past, Ewan is more powerful and determined than ever before, but navigating trauma in a dangerous world ruled by colonizing gods is never easy. Now he’s fighting for his life in a daunting tournament, fulfilling his promise to the God of Death. The competition is drawing powerful players to the city of sin: an arrogant prince from another land, a band of misfits, an archangel who has never known defeat, the fragments of a god who silenced billions, and a fallen hero whom the gods failed to erase.

He’ll quickly learn that the death tournament is only the beginning of his new troubles. It’s not just his life on the line—the plans of a rebellion hinge on him winning. If he can’t beat the competition, then humanity loses its best shot at reclaiming everything they’ve lost.
