description: In a remote village a man named Azaiah goes wreathed in flowers and smiling to the sacrificial altar willing to die to keep his village safe from plague. But the Harvester has something else in store for Azaiah and it isnt the shores of the world beyond that await himbut the cloak and scythe itself. Being Death means a long life that nevertheless requires a connection to humanity and Azaiah learns that corruption awaits those who do not find a mortal companion to keep them tethered to the world. He finds it in Nyx a soldier from an ancient empire and an adopted son of the Emperor whose soul burns bright enough that Azaiah is certain immortality wont be a burden but a gift. But then a shocking betrayal changes Nyx from a gruff soldier with a kind heart to a man bent on vengeance swearing fealty not to Azaiah but his sibling Ares. With Nyx set on destroying the empire that was once his home Azaiah is dangerously close to losing himself to the corruption that threatens those who lose their tether to the mortal world. Nyx once loved the Empire and the family that took him in but when the perfidy of his adopted brother results in a tragedy beyond his ability to bear Nyx wants nothing more than to burn the world in his wake. Turning from the quiet intriguing Azaiah toward the promise of bloody vengeance Nyx gives his vows to Ares and watches the empire he once served fall into ruin. But as the years pass vengeance is a cold comfort and the man who is now called Glaive is determined to save Azaiah from being lost in the dark. STORMFRONT is the first book in the IMMORTALS DESCENDING series featuring gods in search of their eternal companions.
