It has been nearly a century since the world was consumed by WWIII and new empires are rising from the ashes. In the rubble of the American Midwest, one such empire has unlocked secrets forgotten since the bombs fell.

And the only force strong enough to stop its advance... is itself.

Liam never asked to be enhanced. He was a child, born and raised to be a weapon. A sword in the hands of his taskmasters. But swords can cut both ways.

Fleeing a life of torture and experimentation, Liam soon discovers that the world is much bigger than he ever imagined. There's still plenty of pain to be found. But there are also joys: family, love, and revenge.

And when it comes to finding life's purpose, sometimes you really can have it all.
