His visions are never wrong. Now, he's leading a slave revolt along with a crazy shapeshifter, a ghost with an attitude problem, and the most stubborn, amazing woman he's ever met. The good news is, it looks like they might succeed. The bad news is, he'll have to die before they do. But if Favian tells the others what the future holds, he knows they'll move heaven and earth to stop it happening--even if doing so sentences untold thousands to subjugation and slavery at the hands of an evil tyrant.

The pace is medium burn, and the books contain strong LGBT content. If you dislike M/M, you'll dislike this series.
