Velius Pyre is the last survivor of his dying realm, abandoned by the gods and left to face annihilation at the hands of the all-devouring Hunger. When a chance encounter with a mysterious god known only as the Swordsman rips his soul free, Pyre awakens in the Nether—an endless expanse of broken realms, fallen souls, and divine secrets. Drawn to the city of Requiem, built around the Font of Eternity at the heart of creation, he discovers that even in death there are trials to endure, powers to claim, and choices that will shape the fate of countless worlds. Haunted by betrayal, driven by vengeance, and carrying the last spark of his people's hope, Pyre must forge his path through rivalries, ancient pantheons, and cosmic horrors alike. To survive, he will master strange new powers tied to his very soul, uncover the origins of the Hunger, and face truths long buried by gods and monsters. His journey is only beginning—but if he endures, Pyre may rise as more than just a survivor. He may become the hope the Eternal Realms have waited for . . .
