Paragon of Time

Paragon #4

by Luke Chmilenko, Alex Knight

Auric Cain fled a dying world—only to land somewhere worse.

Barely surviving the collapse of an entire planet, Auric and West have escaped to the only place they could. Unfortunately, that place is a world out of time—or perhaps—frozen in it? A shattered, purgatorial instance where gravity doesn’t make sense, ancient guardians slumber, and the secrets of the inner workings of the System wait to be uncovered.

In this place, staying alive is unlikely. Staying sane even less so.

Worse still, Auric and West aren’t alone. A one-time friend turned enemy has been trapped, scarred, and transformed by this makeshift prison. Together, they must break the locks of this world, master a new Path full of unique abilities, and unravel the truth about the identity of the Administrator.

And if they manage all that, they might just earn a chance to go home.
