Outskirts of Oblivion

Under the domination of The Keep, the world remains severed into pieces, each controlled by a tyrant. In Xeon Eleven, peasants huddle close to the throne of power to receive bread, but it comes with a cost. Rebellion against the regime is virtually impossible—but a few gifted dreamers hope to challenge that.

Phaidon Tteldran is a young man forced to flee the city with his friends. As a group of wanted fugitives, they trade the confines of the stifling city for the wide open spaces of the run-down outskirts.

Kale Vess is the overlord of this realm. He could use his team of precogs to sweep the city for crimes before they happen, but instead chooses to purge both guilty and innocent at random.

Colonel Grant “Brimstone” Brim is a prisoner in a remote facility at an undisclosed location. He has transferred from the battlefield to a chess match played against those who hold him as their most prized subject. Freedom is the ultimate gambit—but Dr. Volkov and her subordinates are already reaching for the checkmate.

Soon, Phaidon and his group find themselves under the predatory gaze of Vess, who unleashes his instruments of pursuit. On the horizon lies a climactic showdown—but do they have what it takes to stay uncaged?
