Resurgence of the High King ebook

Disasters, pandemics, and World War III sent a decimated humanity into darkness, but out of the ashes rose a new leader. He forged the First Council out of the strongest warlords and restored order with fire and sword. But as the tyrant, who called himself the High King, drifted further and further into madness, he was killed by his right-hand man and enforcer, Ben Spencer. Over a hundred years have passed, and the reluctant new High King and his council have long since returned to the shadows. From behind the scenes, their successors have guided the world with a gentle hand towards democracy and a more sustainable future. But the mistakes of the past have finally caught up with them. A hunger for power on one side and an almost insane desire for revenge on the other, bring open conflict back. The current High King, Steven Spencer is one of the first victims, and his unsuspecting son, Kent Spencer, is suddenly forced to fight for his life and the future of humanity against the usurpers. The bloody power struggle will lead to the "Resurgence of the High King," and in this first installment of the series, Awakenings, the struggling protagonists must find their roles in a world far more volatile and dangerous than they could have imagined in their worst nightmares. How will they fare in a world headed for a bloody conflict? How will it shape them, what will they become in the end?
