About this listen

The descendent of an ancient and terrible clan will wield extraordinary power come the end of days in the epic fourth installment of this urban fantasy.

Truth Medici knows life isn't fair. But for the first time, the balance is in his favor. Cultivation has taken him from desperate slumrat to burglar to mercenary to bodyguard to terrorist, and now he's the revered prince of a kingdom to come—immortal heir to a dynasty hidden for millennia.

Pampered by succubae, demons, and sprites, Truth is more than ready to embody the might of his ancestors, who've prospered in secret for centuries. With an aura that reeks of power, he'll make his presence known. His word and will are law.

But not all is perfect. Truth's lover is no longer by his side, and neither is his beloved brother Vig, a revolutionary still devoted heart and soul to smashing the System. With a vast nationalist uprising reaching its fiery peak, Truth can't help but wonder: What does he really want the end of the world to look like when all is said and done?

The answer lies back home in impoverished Harban. Truth left there a slumrat, but he'll return as King Rat. And his reign will count for more than anyone can imagine . . .

The fourth volume of the hit cyberpunk fantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

this biscuits a really good story and I will continue reading it, but in this book, truth does something really messed up, so messed up that it's making it hard for me to continue.

An excellent entry into the series, fairly light on action save for the final 2 hours and a smattering of intense moments but we truely get to witness Truth grow as a person. The book spends much of its run time delving into the personal philosophy of Truth Medici and what it means to be a human as he grapples with thoughts of what a better world could even look like.
