The planet Rastarok has been forgotten by the universe for millennia, hidden by the powers that be for good reason. Deep in the heart of the world lies the strength for Amongeratix to take control of the seven hundred worlds and finish his long war with his brothers. Alone and missing his memory, the Penitent Man must come to terms with who he is and what he means to a universe gripped by civil war. It is a path he is loath to travel, for to discover his past is to accept the future. Under the direction of the Blood Witches, a motley assortment of criminals and warriors gathers to prevent Amongeratix from gaining control of this power. It is a mission doomed to fail unless they can set aside their differences and keep from killing each other along the way. The pieces are in play. Heroes and villains battle across the stars in a war no one understands, and all know must be won. Through Darkness Besieged is the latest installment of the Forgotten Gods Tales.
