  • In a cosmic war that lasted generations, the Stokians created the Theomorphosis Chamber, their ultimate weapon, which would unite the All Fire, both the creative power and substance of the universe, within the body of one man. But the ship bearing the Theomorphosis Chamber has crashed landed on the planet of Ninivon where it calls a new host: Zeno.

  • Zeno has heard the call. But he cares only for Alexandra, his childhood friend and soul mate. He cannot comprehend that such great power could or should be his. But he reluctantly assumes the god-like power when he learns that Alexandra is leading a rebellion against a vampiric, alien tyrant.

  • The Vampire. No one knows who he is or where he comes from. But he is alien, he needs human blood to preserve his unnatural long life, and he will kill everyone on Ninivon to find what he came to the planet looking for.

  • Alexandra loves Zeno and he loves her. But Alexandra knows that Zeno has a higher calling. What she does not know is that she, like Zeno, is also an heir to the Stokian legacy. When this truth is revealed, how will it change her? And to what links will she go to save Ninivon’s savior?
