Rising on Obelisk

In the ashes of a dead world, the Cenotaph has been unearthed—a vault of godlike power that can make a man a king… or unmake civilization itself.
Viktor Odoacer will claim it. Once an elite scholar of the Blackwing Militia, now a hunted outlaw forged by betrayal and bloodshed, Viktor has nothing left but his obsession. To breach the ancient defenses, he’ll torture, manipulate, and murder without hesitation.
As deadly automatons prowl the wastes and the line between forgotten science and black sorcery dissolves, Viktor’s ruthless hunt draws him to Bryn—a sharp, charismatic theater director whose dangerous allure threatens to crack the last of his sanity.
In a world that punishes weakness and devours heroes, Viktor’s greatest discoveries may not be the horrors buried in the vault… but those clawing their way out of himself.
Rising on Obelisk — No heroes. Only the hungry and the damned.
