ISBN: 9781534321052
Ages: 13+

Once upon a time, there was a land of Gods. The land was divided into thirteen territories, each ruled by a different god. Above all of them was their ruler, the One King. It all worked for a long time…

…Then one day, The Luminary and his compatriots: The Prodigy, The Brute, The Trickster, and The Innovator, all gods in their own right, turned against the One King and began a rebellion. Through battle, that rebellion was stopped. But gods never stay dead…

… and they have been reborn again, in today’s world. 22 year old Christopher’s life is about to change, when he becomes aware of a battle that has lasted for centuries. Dominic arrives just in time to save him from danger that he didn’t even see coming. Will The Five be able to unite in time to escape the wrath of the forces of the One King?

Kyle Higgins (RADIANT BLACK, NIGHTWING, MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS) brings his unique vision to a story that is new, but seems familiar at the same time. Volume 1 seems to begin a story that will last for many years to come.

Fast paced and fun, a good action story for ages 13 and up.
