But with almost a year until his body is reborn, it _is _a dangerous setback. With Armies to lead, alliances to maintain, and enemies ranging from the gods to the imminent return of the psychopath Natom Hilgresh, he needs a workaround. He needs an Avatar. Achieving this lofty aim will require sacrifice and hard work—for his followers, at least. So while Clive practices with his ethereal powers, they attempt to push their budding god up through the Ethereal Stages and bring him back to the world of the living. But doing so will change everything. Secrets will be revealed, hell will break loose, and chaos will rain on Falritas, causing a war that will reach every corner of the land and beyond.
