Kaelthorn Vexler—or just Kael, as some still dare to call him—is literally the strongest man alive. Power, influence, money—he has it all, and more. He stands above governments, above nations, above the rules the rest of the world follows.

He is the last hope of humanity.

A certain nation—unnamed you choose your enemy—has set a date. Nuclear missiles, hundreds of them, are scheduled to launch and everyone knows there will be no survivors to that.

Six months. Six days. Six hours from now.

And only one man has the power to stop it.

Kaelthorn can do it—easily. With his ability to manipulate the Void, he can erase missiles from the sky, collapse weapons into black nothingness, bend the very fabric of reality until no threat remains.

He could save the world. All of it.

But he won’t.

Not unless he gets something for it.

You.

That is his price. Not money. Not worship. You.

And if he doesn’t get it?

Then let the world burn.
