Era of the Scourge Book One
A Universal Warrior Story
The man who refuses to die must have something to live for.
Malakai is the chief herald of Nero, the avatar of war and ruler of our world. He has served his master faithfully for the past decade, executing his every order without question or hesitation and slaying hundreds in his lord's name. His skill, and loyalty, are without question. But Malakai kept a secret from his master that if discovered, would mean his end.
Anann is the half-Angel daughter of Mars, a former mercenary who took part in the First Dimension's most violent conflict. Relentlessly searching for clues that will lead her to know the mother she never knew, Anann has excelled as a disciple of Aphrodite, hoping to follow her mother's footsteps as an Angel of Love and unification. Anann's headlong search for answers will lead her down a path she may not return from.
When Malakai is betrayed by his lord and left for dead, Anann answers his pleas for help. The two begin a journey to take back what was stolen from Malakai, but it is a journey with much more dire ramifications than either of them can imagine. One who has only known violence and bloodshed is partnered with one who can imagine neither, and their actions will ultimately lead to the beginning of a rebellion against one of the most powerful beings the universe has ever known.
