Alex never expected much from life—or from the gods, for that matter. In a world where gods bestow blessings upon the worthy, he’s the rare “dud” no deity wanted. His luck doesn’t get any better when he dies during a villain’s rampage and finds himself in a dark, otherworldly void. But just when things couldn’t seem stranger, Alex comes face-to-face with Thanatos, the primordial god of death… who’s dead.
But Thanatos has one last trick up his sleeve: he bestows his powers upon Alex, sending him back to the living world with a mission he doesn’t fully understand. Now alive and carrying the powers of death itself, Alex is caught in a dangerous game between gods, rouge-chosen, and his own fate. He just wanted a normal life—but some powers are impossible to ignore.
