Ever Hero Saga

Human lives are useful currency to the gods of Law and Chaos, each deity imposing their own brand of tyranny-be it through unyielding order or chaotic upheaval-leaving mortals to bear the brunt of their divine indifference...until now. Evil forces seek to steal the souls of the world. They didn't bargain on a mystic monk and a feisty witch to get in their way. This is their story. When the demons came, ransacking his monastery, killing his friends and mentors, Kasai's mind screamed, "Flee! Run while you can!" But he didn't. Honor demanded he fight back, no matter the cost or how much he wanted it to be someone else's problem. Escaping her doomed village, orphaned and alone, Desdemonia begins a new life in the deep forest. A chance encounter with a young monk sets events in motion which will force her to choose sides; fight for what is right and just or unleash the chaos magic burning in her veins against a world who has turned its back on her. Enter the archdevil, Sekka of Gathos, hellbent on conquest and lacking but one final piece to guarantee her victory; the soul of the next Ever Hero. Hope will not be enough to stop her or the hordes of demons at her command. Follow in the footsteps of two unlikely companions, fighting against overwhelming odds in a last-ditch effort to stop Sekka from opening a dreaded Chaos Gate, and with it the doom of the Three Kingdoms.

Kasai's darkest hour has arrived; he is captured by Sekka and given an ultimatum: defeat her archnemesis Zizphander or watch his companions perish. Any hope of success lies within the unleashing the god-like powers of the Ever Hero, but without guidance, his odds of success are slim. Meanwhile, Des is torn between whose side she belongs, good or evil.

Kasai and Desdemonia escape the Abyss and travel to the Seven Heavens in hopes of salvation, only to be accused of consorting with the enemy and imprisoned for treason on their arrival. Meanwhile, a new threat from beyond time wakes, driven mad by the scent of fresh souls leaking from the Chaos Gate. The Ancients are coming, and they are hungry. All the while, the Three Kingdoms are left defenseless to Sekka's rampaging hordes of demons. The Soul War has begun, and the Ever Hero is needed like never before. However, Kasai's fate and that of the Mortal Realm, will be decided by Raguel, the archangel with a personal vendetta against Aetenos. And how better to enact his revenge on the demigod than to destroy his progeny? If you enjoy an engaging story, pitting the underdog against overwhelming odds, with dark powers turning would-be heroes into finger puppets, and mad ambition which throws worlds into conflict, you'll love the third installment in Jeff Pantanella's page-turning Ever Hero Saga.
