Dominic Heathley's life is spiraling out of control. Juggling multiple jobs barely keeps him afloat, but it's not enough to save his terminally ill mother or get his disabled sister the urgent medical care she needs. To make matters worse, the love of his life leaves him for another man, and a vengeful young multi-millionaire blacklists him, costing him every job he's got. When loan sharks, in a bid to make him pay up his debts, abduct his sister and abandon his mother to die, Dominic's already fragile world collapses. He fails to save his mother and arrives too late to rescue his sister, with their estranged father refusing to assist in any way. Overwhelmed by grief and guilt, Dominic chooses to end his life. But death isn't the end. An ancient power, the Rune System, greets him on the other side, reviving him with a new purpose. Resurrected and renamed Draàl, the Crimson Knight, he's been given powers and abilities beyond his imagination and tasked with a monumental mission in the physical realm. Little does he know, there are others with their own unique Rune Systems, and their mission is to stop him at all costs.
