Trampling in the Land of Woe

In the teeming streets of New Dis—the bohemian heart of Purgatory—there is no peace for the dead. This industrialized afterlife, perched on the very rim of Hell, pulses with steam-powered wonders, cutthroat politics, and desperate souls chasing one last shot at redemption while Earth’s wars rain fresh agony down upon them.

General Hephaestion has crossed into this savage realm with a single, impossible mission: descend into the deepest circles of Hell and rescue his beloved commander, Alexander the Great, from eternal torment. But the underworld is far deadlier than legend ever warned. Armies of the damned, monstrous guardians, and cunning demons stand between him and his goal.

To survive, Hephaestion must forge uneasy alliances with eccentric inventors, ruthless mercenaries, and fallen legends—wielding both razor-sharp intellect and unrelenting force against the most unsavory forces the afterlife has ever spawned.
