by Joshua S. Rainor
Waking up on the execution block, Zach finds himself in another body, in another world with its own rules, creatures, and eldritch expressions of Creation. Even more puzzling is his new identity as Oliver Emery, whose family has deep, dark, and bloody secrets spanning generations, continents, worlds, and realities. With his memories coming in slowly, Zach is forced to relive the trauma that led to his arrival. He will have to weaponise the unholy Emery legacy along with an eerie power caused by his arrival, because finding out how he got here means crossing paths with a hell-spanning cabal known as the Sins of Man.
