Verelyn the Dastardly

Hate changes a man who's betrayed.
Friends, family, kingdoms, these things inevitably betray you. Hate doesn't. It rampages, smoldering molten through your veins, skewering the enemy.
But at what cost?
A man thinks his battle is with the Risen, but perhaps his true battle lies with the Fallen. For war centuries in the making cascades upon those chosen in Verelyn's darkest hour. Forced to lead, forced to fight, forced to die, he must walk the line between good and evil, honor and hate, truth and temptation. And choose which side he wishes to serve.
Risen. Fallen. One must be forgotten.
Spiral down the past to find the secret to the afterlife in Verelyn the Dastardly.
Eternity beckons the Risen. Hellfire bathes the Fallen.
