One hundred years of self-imposed exile will change a man... won't it?  Atlas, a once-feared tyrant among the ascendant Warlords of the post-apocalypse, walked away from it all long ago. Now, finally journeying back to the fringes of civilization after lifetimes alone, he sees a chance for a quiet life among people--but fate has other ideas. Confronted with a mirror-image of his own terrible past, he is called to action against The Bonded--a new legion of Warlords who seek complete dominion over what remains of humanity. Redemption is far from his mind as he sets out, as he must face himself as much as he must face The Bonded--for every step that takes him closer to victory over them also takes him closer to the tyrant that he used to be.
