Darius King: The Fall of a Kingdom

In 1975, Rossfield City is a place of uneasy peace and colonial shadows. For Darius King, the dream of being a scholar is dead, replaced by the bitter reality of life as a "denizen" under the rule of the mysterious Cleft. Now known as "Prowler," he spends his days managing a university farm for men who don’t respect him and his nights haunted by a past he cannot outrun. When two ambitious students stumble onto his farm seeking data for a project, they find more than they bargained for: a man who claims the "Black man" is a victim of a wrong timeline and a beautiful "Cleft" maiden whose presence triggers a dangerous obsession. But as Darius follows the girl into the woods, he isn't just stalking a princess—he is walking into a trap that spans dimensions. In a world where the laws of physics are being rewritten by colonizers from another reality, Darius must discover if he is a pawn, a prisoner, or the key to a multiverse he never knew existed.
