In the epic fifth installment of this urban fantasy series, nothing can stop a young freedom fighter from killing the creator of his corrupt world.

When it comes to instigating an apocalypse, it's been a promising start for Truth Medici. But to really get things rolling, he has a monumental undertaking ahead of him: break the systems that keep the immortal Starbrite alive and finally shatter the source of his power.

Invisible and impervious to magic, Truth is the one man capable of decapitating the mastermind behind the wicked system controlling his world. Anything's possible with the right tools and the guidance of his Machiavellian mentor, Merkovah. But in order to stop a soul-eater like Starbrite, Truth must first fill the souls of the soon-to-be-dead with the spirit of rebellion—a poisonous feast for a manufacturer of conformity.

Truth's path to accomplish his mission is riddled with choices. Standing at the crossroads of his life, he must now answer the question, Who does he really want to be? A soul-tracking assassin? A saboteur? A charismatic savior? The very magic that makes him strong, also shapes his destiny.

And now Truth is coming to a dreadful realization: he doesn't have all the answers. He's not even sure if he's asking the right questions. If he has any hope of accomplishing his mission, he'll need to figure out his plans quickly...because the world is going to be forever and irrevocably changed by what he decides.

The fifth volume of the hit cyberpunk fantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

Quite good

If you’re reading this far you probably know this is a very philosophical series. If you’re in it for just the action this book is not for you. This book is absolutely an interlude after the peak of the last, it sets up new context for the next

No just no

What is this? This isnt a story.. this is 11 hour philosophy text book about morals and why to treat others as you want to be treated.

There is no plot, no progress, no engagement. Its 11 hours of the MC talking to himself about why people should be kind. THATS IT!

The few scenes that are travel or internal monologues, are him talking to others about why to be good.

This book was utter trash as a 5th book in a series. The author should pull it, cut 90% then throw the few few small story bits into the next book and wrap up the series. Be done before they go off the deep end further.

My review, waste of time. Read a summary of this book and wait for book 6.

Filler book

If you watch anime, you know just how empty filler episodes can be. That is this book but worse. A bunch of internal monologues, one new power, one secret plot, and… scene. The end. This is the worst book I’ve ever listened to and I like this series.
