Diablo Volpir, a powerful dark mage, was defeated and sealed away in a battle against the 12 gods. He was the most feared magic user in history, a force of destruction that even the divine could not ignore. They banded together, twelve against one, and they won.
But they could not kill him. So they sealed him. Trapped him in darkness for an eternity that stretched beyond counting.
He finally wakes up from his sleep 66,666 years later.
Not in his body. Not as the dark lord he once was. He wakes up as a newborn baby. Jamie Welton. A crying, helpless infant in a world that has forgotten his name and his terror.
Nine years pass. Jamie is a child now, with a fraction of the power he once held. A loving family surrounds him. A peaceful environment cradles him. For the first time in his existence, Diablo Volpir knows what it feels like to be loved.
But he has not forgotten. The 12 gods are still out there. They still rule. They still think they won.
Now the dark mage, reborn as a boy with a heart that beats for his new family, must decide. Does he pursue his ancient revenge? Does he destroy the gods who sealed him away? Or does he protect the people who showed him love for the first time in 66,666 years?
Can a dark mage raised in light find a way to have both vengeance and family, or will one consume the other?
