Determined not to die forgotten, he builds himself from the ground up first as a street dealer, then as a quiet force within Europe’s criminal underworld.

And the empire he’s building may never have truly belonged to him. Power isolates. Loyalty breaks. And love, in this world, is a weapon. In the end, only one name will be remembered.

Truth is a privilege of the gods--not a right. Caelion Vireth was a Spellbreaker of the divine, who would open deadly curses and bring the will of the gods. When his head started splitting up and his body broke down, the gods referred to it as a flaw. It was a disgrace, said his father. Betrayed and executed by the one he trusted most, Caelion should have died. Rather, he finds himself in the body of Vaelthar Noctryn- the tabooed God of Deceit, who is lord of the underworld. Caelion hides under a curse that ties him to the shadows, and masquerades as a young messenger back to the court of the gods. However, his lie has its price--once the moonlight touches him his secret will be known, and this time he will be dead forever. In his quest to unravel the truth about his execution, Caelion starts to unravel the truth as he travels through the gods who condemned him. He finds out something much worse than betrayal. He was never meant to die. He was to climb up. And the one who commissioned his death was never his father. Caelion, with the truth hidden in the lies and the court working against him, embarks on the quest to reveal the gods, at all cost. But in a world where one builds on falsehoods, even justice is punishable. In order to possess the truth, he must perhaps turn into the thing they were so afraid of.
