To cover Evelyn’s $80 million debt, orphan Ethan Vail is forced into brutal combat beneath Prague, enduring punishment meant to break him. Only as death closes in does he learn the truth: the suffering was a vile loyalty test orchestrated by the spoiled Blackwood heiress. Guided by Loki, the God of Lies, Ethan survives a 72-hour betrayal ordeal and emerges with the power to pass divine judgment. He then awakens as the long-comatose only heir of the North Star Syndicate, crushes the Blackwood Group, ruins the architect of his downfall, and leaves Evelyn consumed by regret and madness. Though offered ascension, Ethan refuses it all and stays mortal with the caregiver who never abandoned him.
