A novel by Cado Ezechiar. In his first full-length novel, the vampiric anti-hero Cado Ezechiar finds himself trapped in a web of war and deceit in the city of Aventhis.

The cold Cado Ezechiar is obsessed with revenge and adhering to his strict moral code – can he stay true to himself and avenge those he lost?

Cado Ezechiar is a wanderer who has surpassed the memory of the era that made him. A Soulblight vampire who accepted the curse as his people and kingdom fell into Chaos, he now roams the Realm of Death and beyond seeking retribution and salvation for those he failed.

Aided by the bound spirits of those he lost, Cado follows a path of vengeance, hunting the servants of Chaos to quench his need for blood while seeking the Sorcerer of Change who destroyed his kingdom.

When his hunt leads him to the free city of Aventhis, Cado gets caught in the machinations of greater powers – beings who see the city and its people as dust in the eyes of ambitious gods. Torn between his honor code and his desire for revenge, Cado must navigate a web of war and deception, or he will lose everything.
