Description

Gods walk among us. 

Indomitable, all knowing and long-lived, they guide us, nurture us and protect us. They are answerable to nobody, beholden to nothing. They are the High-Lords of the Imperium. For over five hundred years they have ruled over us, their Mandate of Heaven gone unquestioned. 

Until now. 

Only one man, Alex Grey, dared to rise up and challenge them. He confronted them and won, but in return they cast him from the heavens. Banished forever to an underworld, never again to see the light of day. He was discarded and soon forgotten. A warning to all of what happens to those who dare defy them. 

But he didn’t die, for sometimes even Gods make mistakes. 

Escaping the prison from whence he was sent, he swore his vengeance upon those who had betrayed him. Having served the High-Lords for over twenty years he knew their dark secret; they were not Gods, but simply flesh and blood, and could die just as easily. 

Alex is given a second chance that few are offered, a chance to go back and change the past, to fix the mistakes that he made. A mistake that cost a beautiful young woman her life and who has haunted him ever since. 

A brand new series by the author of the Redemption Trilogy. A Science Fiction adventure/romance, which begs the question: “What would you do if you could go back and change your past?”

    The book started off a little slow and then built up to a great finish. However, at the end, there is confusion. Without giving away the segment, I will say there is a contradiction is what happens and what is written. There is room for the next book, however the author will need to correct the confusion before moving on. I do recommend reading the book and seeing if you feel the same way towards the end of the book.
