"The world is yours...to destroy."

4 years ago, Vance's mother went missing. Everyone thought she was dead...but Vance knew better. What he did not know was that his search for her would take him across multiple parallel dimensions filled with psychotic killers, demented warlords, righteous angels and bloodthirsty demons. As Vance learns more about his lineage and his new surroundings, the stakes will rise, until his journey takes him to the end of the universe itself, and he comes face to face with the one who created it.

Those who enjoy descriptive, deep stories with plot threads linked across multiple chapters and strategic, action-packed battles will not be disappointed here. As human as it is otherworldly, at its core this story is about family, love, loss, and growth midst tragedy.

"I don't suppose you folks accept dollars, huh?"


"Never heard of those." Phileas's eyes glimmered. "But I'd love to learn about them! And that is where my deal comes into play, Mr. Darcouver. In return for saving your friend Frank's life, I wish for both of you to accompany me to my estate tonight, so that we may all engage in an exchange of intelligence."
