His family massacred, a boy must claim a dark inheritance and wage war against a greater evil.

 

Seventeen-year-old Simon Bell of San Pedro was never meant to bear the mantle of destiny, but when his parents and brother are killed and the soul of his sister stolen, the burden is forced upon him.

 

Across the gulfs of space and time Ahriman, the Dark Planet, spreads Its tendrils to Earth, spawning our nightmares, infecting mankind with madness and ruin. The Order of Ahriman − the cabal of sorcerers that has claimed Simon − harnesses the shadowy essence of the Planet as a weapon against it but doing so requires riding a razor’s edge of sanity and corruption.

 

Now he must battle the darkness both within and without, and find his true power before the forces that claimed his family plunge him, and then the world, into final oblivion.
