When a mysterious AI goes rogue, trapping military technology in the 6th Century civilization collapses into chaos! Human rights face extinction as corrupt officials force low income households, and student loan debtors into state sanctioned slavery and human traffickers roam, while the elite vie with hate groups using replicas of ancient weapons to carve out kingdoms of their own! To millions locked in a desperate struggle for survival in a new dark age...hope is but a memory, but the prophecies of an inner-city preacher foretell of a leader forged in the crucible of desolation that will unite the people in blood and victory!
What follows is an exhilarating concoction of badassery and Blackness.
