Description

A secret war over every soul is waging away from mankind’s prying eyes. The very essence of humanity is at stake, yet not a single human is involved, only the arcane undead creatures known as revenants battle for the soul. The fight lies between the powerful and advanced Holous who aim to seize control of every soul and gain sway over the ethereal, and the ancient yet waning Luciens that press for every spirits sovereignty and salvation. Centuries of battling has spilled blood over the blurred lines of good and evil as both factions struggle for what they believe sacred. At the heart of this conflict is Ezra, a revenant straddling each side, both in the past and present, yet knows nothing of it until the war unfolds around his ears. Hidden deep in a Holous school for developing souls, Ezra resides with other undeveloped revenants. Only a select few know his true identity and Ezra is not one of the privileged. In fact he knows very little of his own self. The soul within him is a terrible puzzle he cannot decipher. Many of his fellow students have mastered that enigma and advanced beyond him to the upper echelons of the Holous ranks, leaving him far behind. After a futile year of teachings about the nature of the revenant, Ezra’s trusted and patriarchal Elder, betrays him. With only a few loved ones to leave the school with him, Ezra escapes into the wild and stumbles into the vast revenant war. The Luciens quickly discover and shelter him. In their hold Ezra finds that he, in a previous and quite recent life, was their failed savior and is asked to retake the mantle to turn the tide in favor of their holy battle. Baffled and stunned, overwhelmed by the new world thrust upon him and without any knowledge of the prior one, Ezra refutes the Lucien claims yet cannot escape or truly deny their claims as he continually manifests strange and amazing new abilities. To cultivate his growing skills, the Luciens spirit him away into their sacred fold to divulge the talents he must learn to protect the ethereal world the Holous are beginning to conquer. From his mysterious soul Ezra learns to wield light, the deadliest weapon against all revenants, and harness it to immolate the enemy back into carrion. As Ezra discovers the powers the soul can produce, he also must overcome his past as it tries to overcome him before he can reach his potential and the Holous devour every soul.
