Roderick Donatus

He borrowed the Dark God's power. Now He's coming to collect that debt. The empire named him a hero. But the atrocities Randal committed for the sake of ending the war left him a broken man. Shipped off to a country estate and estranged from his friends, he drowns his sins in cheap ale at the local tavern. However, when he rouses from yet another drunken stupor to find his manor burned down and his family murdered, the warrior in him claws its way back to the surface.
The only path before him is vengeance. His hunt takes him across the empire and beyond. With each step forward, whispers of a sinister cult grow. The massacre wasn't random. The war he'd ended never died, and the followers of the Dark God have returned, looking for him.
