Summary
In the 1970s, the world changed forever. Without warning,
colossal towers of black stone erupted from the earth, and
with them came the Aserathi—an alien people who looked
like humans but were faster, stronger, and infinitely more
dangerous. They were led by the Seven Sisters, beings of unimaginable
power worshipped as living gods. Behind them stood their
Archons and Scions, lieutenants who enforced their dominion.
Humanity’s armies shattered. Governments crumbled.
Within months, Earth was theirs. By 2025, humanity exists only on
sufferance—labourers, servants, rebels clinging to
shadows. Resistance still sparks, but always at a cost. Cael is no hero. Just another man trying to survive in the
ruins of southern England, running jobs for scraps, looking
after those who can’t fend for themselves. But when he
crosses paths with an Aserathi, his life veers violently off
course. Soon Cael finds himself hunted, entangled in secrets older
than the Aserathi’s arrival, and changing in ways that
could either save humanity… or doom it forever. In a world ruled by gods in human form, what chance does
one man have?
