Memory Reaper

God abandoned him, God would come to regret it.

Every child in the Empire is granted a blessing before they turn eighteen, but Lazarus received a curse. Conscripted by the Prince of Hell, he learns to invade the memories of the dead to harvest their power.

But his obsession with growing stronger eventually leads to grave robbing and a desperate choice that sends him running into the arms of the Resistance, where Lazarus must adapt to his new life or die as a lowly soldier, forgotten on the battlefield.

Bonds forged by necessity will ignite into a crescendo of conflict to reveal stunning secrets about the very nature of God himself, as Lazarus wagers his most precious memories in a gambit that could cost him everything he cares about.

Some Empires are meant to fall.
