Keiron did what seemed unattainable: in just a few days, he rose to an impossible height and earned the fifth ring of becoming—a milestone that takes others years to reach. But the joy of victory doesn’t last long. An unexpected evolution of his loyal companion throws all his plans into ruin and forces the hero to return to Earth—to his native world, where, instead of honors, he faces a new streak of trials.

Now Keiron is an absolute force—impossible to negotiate with using the usual methods—and one that even the authorities can’t control. What will those do who are used to managing everything and everyone? What steps will they take to subdue the one who threatens their fragile order? What conspiracies will begin to form in the highest circles, and what grim secrets will come to light?

Keiron must do more than just stay afloat amid the storm of political games—he must figure out who to be in a world where power inspires not admiration, but fear and the desire to eliminate the danger. Will he be able to remain himself when the stakes are not only his life, but the fate of an entire world?
