Reincarnated as Lord Clen of Clen Gar, a knight of the Dream Marches, he brandishes the soul-drinking black sword as he serves as protector of Heaven. Over the centuries, his people have defended the louche elite above from the desperate savages of the acidic Hell below. But as a final confrontation begins, Clen has one final secret. One which will determine the uncertain future of his world.
