In the shadow of the Pretorius Empire, 2043 Egypt, destinies collide as ancient forces stir, while loyalties are forged and others shatter.

Matias De Laurentiis, Ablaze champion and the first to escape its impenetrable Haven, is driven by vengeance. His loved ones were slaughtered by the Cult of Ra, a merciless faction intent on eradicating the Bloodman race. But his quest for justice will uncover truths far greater—and more shocking—than revenge.

Luna Adjani, ensnared in the brutal gladiatorial spectacle of Ablaze—the so-called greatest show on Earth—must battle for her survival. As her faith falters and she’s forced to fight her own kind, the ultimate prize remains tantalisingly out of reach: freedom.

As insurgents rise, a Bloodman Rights inspector defies protocol to stoke rebellion, while an empress consort, bound by two decades of allegiance, faces an agonising choice: remain loyal to an empire or seize a chance to break free.

In a land where power corrupts and danger lurks at every turn, their fates entwine in a desperate struggle for liberation, redemption, and the soul of a fractured world.
