The cost of survival may be more than he bargained for.

Ward Dyer, a seasoned Port Authority detective, tracks a kidnapper to the eerie, forgotten tunnels of the Seattle underground—a place where shadows whisper and danger lurks.

He disrupts a human sacrifice, but the victory leaves him gravely wounded and teetering on the brink of death. He’s approached by a mysterious young woman with an offer he can’t refuse.

In exchange for a cryptic price, she saves him—sending him to Vainglory, a system of worlds where magic intertwines with the unknown, and mysteries unravel in the darkest corners.

Now, with a devilish presence haunting his thoughts, Ward embarks on the Vainglory Challenges—a perilous quest for power, riches, and the elusive secrets that may hold the key to his salvation—or his undoing.
