Elysium's designs are taking shape, and its sights are now set on a young man with a malignant new gift . . . as this grimdark LitRPG series continues.

Hell was no match for Riven Thane. He crushed every trial and escaped with two demon minions-and his life. At least, so to speak. Riven isn't so much alive as he is undead. Now, discovering his true self as a pureblooded vampire, he's feeling a little guilty and a lot hungry in this brand-new world. And what a world it is.

Earth as Riven knew it has merged with Zazir and Elhisterii to form the post-apocalyptic creation of the Elysium known as Panu. Here, errant goblins and vulnerable elves battle it out, ungodly monsters spawn like crazy, suicide zombies run wild, and the streets are strewn with human remains.

On a mission to find his sister, Allie-out there somewhere battling her own demons-Riven quickly learns that every time he kills his bloodlust only increases, bringing him ever closer to becoming a full-blown harbinger of doom. But maybe a vampiric hero is just what this mad new world needs.

Riven is embracing his destiny. He can feel it. His ancient ancestors are calling him home.
