The Orientation may be over, but on a postapocalyptic Earth, the beastly games and humanity's fight for survival are just beginning.

James Robard returns to a System-integrated Earth a changed man in a world of ruin and disorder. A conquering hero of the Orientation, rewarded with the ruling title of Fisher King, he has a duty to rebuild civilization. It might look like Florida, but it's the Fisher Kingdom now.

The good news is that James is reunited with his wife, Mina, newly gifted in magic; their newborn son; and Mina's sister. The impetus to stay strong amid the chaos has galvanized them, their friends, and neighbors toward the goal of reconquering Earth for humanity. It's pledge allegiance and stick together—or die.

Now for the bad news: James isn't the only ruler gaining control. The monsters that weren't slaughtered during Orientation are now resettling on Earth and occupying every outlying territory. They abide by no laws, just killer instinct. They're coordinated, amassing, and getting hungry.

But as a clash between species threatens to erupt, James is learning an apocalypse will not only bring out the worst in actual monsters, but in his fellow humans as well. His idealism in restoring peace is edging toward fear. The world he strives to save has never felt so dangerous . . .
