Dark Ages sensibility reigns supreme throughout the decadent halls and chambers of Cardinal's Nest Station, the AOA corporation's ultra-advanced lunar-base, as dystopian-future melds with medieval-feudalism and traditional zombie-horror in this riveting first installment of The Despot Chronicles. A ten-year saga is kicked off with a death-match tournament following closely on the heels of an apocalyptic infection. Can the good folk of Cardinal's Nest overcome the rapacious madness of their new authoritarian overlords before humanity is lost forever? Hope and despair battle for primacy on each page as that question plays out in this exhilarating sci-fi adventure.
