Cade Grimmholt was supposed to stay dead. Instead, he woke in the afterlife. After dying beneath the Iron Veil, Cade finds himself standing before forces far beyond mortal understanding. There, he uncovers a truth buried for thousands of years: the world itself has been sealed away by Orren, the Devil, cutting the people off from the gods, Heaven, and Hell alike. Reborn through divine intervention and fused with Nythris, the Goddess of the Hunt, Cade returns to a dying world carrying power no mortal was ever meant to wield. Now the Empire is collapsing, ancient forces are stirring beyond the Veil, and the Devil has realized something no god or mortal has ever done before: Cade Grimmholt came back willingly. As war consumes the land and divinity tears at his very soul, Cade must walk the line between man, god, and monster to become the world’s final hope against the darkness beyond the seal. No matter the cost.
