In the beginning, the gods destroyed the world.
Since then, the demigods have been using humanity to fight an endless civil war. Humans dutifully slaughtering other humans, battle after battle.
For years, Perry McGown has made his living off the spent ammunition from those bloody battlefields.
But Perry has a secret.
He’s a deserter.
He should be fighting the war instead of cleaning it up. Luckily, his fellow crew members don’t ask a lot of questions, because if anyone found out, he’d be executed.
However, an incident in a barroom goes too far, landing Perry behind bars and sentenced to death.
Through a flurry of gunfire and blood, Perry finds himself on the run with two of his least favorite people: a girl named Teran who does ask too many questions, and a gleefully violent ex-legionnaire named Stuber.
While being pursued by a ruthless demigod, Perry is forced to confront demons from the past. but ends up uncovering truths about his heritage that have been buried for decades.
The more Perry learns, the more dangerous his journey becomes.
Because the truth about Perry could break the gods.
