When old friends fall prey to new threats, there’s no debate and no delay. I have to help—before the gods burn everything I love to the ground, and something worse grows from the ashes. It’s time to grab a team, grab my sword, and grab a ride.

Delano, man turned Apprenti turned god-eater, has staked his claim on our world, and he’s calling all gods and monsters to his side. There’s nowhere for mankind to run and nowhere to hide. We either fight now or bow to his will forever. And there’s no way in heaven or hell I’m going to bow to scum like him. My name is Vic Stratton. I have a team. I have a plan. I have the freaking sword of the gods at my side. But am I ready to save the world?

I’m Vic Stratton, and I can survive anything the Forgotten throw at me. But I can’t say the same for those who look to me for protection. In fact, they’re a bit of a mess. Hunted by the gods and dogged by their minions, with a serial killer hidden among our ranks, the New York City exiles stand little chance out on the open road. Good thing we’re not alone.

And if they don’t kill me first, I may just start breaking jaws in this backward town. What’s with these locals anyways? It’s like they don’t want me to discover the truth.

The problem is that the Forgotten aren’t your run of the mill villains. They’re, well...gods. Which means they’re violent, powerful, and crafty as hell. And all manner of human scum is flocking to their side. Along with my vampire problems, strange beauties have started appearing throughout the country, seducing men and women of great power.
