The world outside is tearing itself apart, and I will do whatever it takes to keep that slaughter from touching my family or the innocent seeking our protection.
They call me The Eveque, leader of the Bayou Bishops, and right now, we are turning our swamps into a fortress.
A ruthless enemy is marching toward our borders, driving thousands of desperate refugees right to our doorstep.
To keep our people safe, I made a dangerous gamble and embraced a terrifying power. Now I am fighting a war on two fronts—one against the army outside, and one against what’s built under my skin.
The Gathering has begun.
And the only thing more dangerous than the enemy at our border is what it may cost me to keep them from crossing it.
