Five years ago, Caleb Thorne vanished on the battlefield and was presumed dead. His family was ruined, his assets seized, and his sister forced to become collateral for a debt held by the most powerful banking family in Switzerland. They thought Caleb was dead. They thought the Thorne family was trash they could trample upon. They were dead wrong. Caleb has returned, not as an ordinary man, but as The Soul Sovereign. Within his pitch-black shadow dwell 10,000 soldier spirits known as "The Hollows," hungering for fear. When enemy guns explode in their own hands and billionaires begin screaming hysterically at empty walls, one thing becomes clear: The King has returned. "You ask the price of my sister's life? Unfortunately, your money holds no value in hell." Don't make him angry. Don't look into his eyes. And for God's sake, never touch his family.

Awakened machines steal souls from the comatose. A dying sun ticks down to oblivion. Alien seeds rain from the sky, birthing ravenous jungles that crave human flesh. In this pulse-pounding apocalypse, a crippled scientist and his sentient AI "daughter" unravel a cycle of cosmic betrayal where salvation demands merging with the enemy, love twists into horror, and one father's choice could doom or redeem a world on the brink of eternal green hell.
