Who'd have thought you'd be shot in the head end up in the worst roleplaying game of all time and things would go downhill from THERE?You see, Damico has made a terrible mistake. He didn't destroy the Eraser, the all-powerful Artifact of ultimate destruction. He kept it, and every morning he wakes up and must make the conscious decision not to become the Dark God of Destruction. Worse, he lied to the woman he loves about it. I don't know how things work in your house, but that's usually the sort of decision you make as a couple.Months have passed, and she hasn't forgiven him. She doesn't trust him. He's starting to fear she doesn't love him anymore.And the natives are restless. From his imperial seat upon the Comfy Throne(TM), he can see the High Lords plotting. They urge him to reinstate the tyrannies of the past, and now rebels have risen against him. He sympathizes with their plight, but if he lets them go, the High Lords will overthrow him, and if he puts them down, he becomes the monster he dreads.Also, did we mention his kitten is the prophesied Cat of Darkness. Or that the High Lords just assassinated his only two allies?So. Things are going just about as badly as they were in the last book......But this time, there's a cat on the cover.
