In the ancient underground kingdom of Hallow, war has begun to consume everything. Forced into the underground world long ago, many fight for the freedom in which they yearn, begging to be free of the dark cage they're confined to. While many others fight to stay to within the safety the caverns provide, terrified of the threat that lurks outside. With no king on the throne to quell the masses, and the key to the outside world shattered into five blades, no end was in sight of the civil war that divided the last bastion of humanity. Atlan suddenly finds himself in possession of one of the five blades, becoming a kings candidate and earning the right to fight for the throne. Thrust into a role he neither wanted nor deserves, he now must fight for the kingdom he hates and collect the four blades to finally end the bloodshed. Becoming a king is difficult. More so when everyone despises you. *** This story follows several main characters and their journeys through an entire new world beneath the earths surface.
