About this listen

The army of the Ascendancy is hammering at the gates. Iradan, Saint of the Green Star, has sworn to take Marak's head and burn his empire to the ground.

But the gods can be fickle.

For Marak, the Ascendancy is just one obstacle on his path to becoming the most powerful being in the universe.

Marak finds himself increasingly forced to commit brutal acts. But every action has a consequence, and even as the Autarch wins one battle, another is lost. If he is to maintain an iron grip on his empire—and continue to expand it—he'll have to root out the treachery spreading at the Autarchy's heart . . .

And in order to rule the world, Marak must first ascend.

Contains mature themes.
