Invictus

The problem of evil went something like this: if the gods were good, why did they permit suffering to exist? If they possessed the power to end poverty with the mere snap of their fingers, why did they not do so?

For some gods, the problem of evil wasn't so much a problem as it was a natural consequence of free will. For them, suffering was just an unfortunate side effect of choice. For Eli and Kalia, two gods who didn't quite hold to this view, the problem of evil was just thata problem. A really big problem! One that required immediate resolution. Their answer: ruthless dictatorship.

Those who submit to their rule will live in a world free of poverty, pestilence, war, and suffering. Those who resist will die. Simple. There are no in-betweens. Their attempt to establish a utopian mortal society through force has left billions dead and a galaxy teetering on the brink. 

But when the two ruthless gods are killed during a fearsome battle on a hellish world, their son Diocletian takes up the mantle of authoritarianism in their place. Yet his rise to power will be far from easy.

Hunted by vengeful adversaries on all sides and left for dead, the demigod is forced to navigate a bloody path of death and betrayal before he can ascend to his true destiny
