Book Description:

Come Home, to where the Darkest Burning Pyre resides.

Come Home, to where the Pyre’s blaze guts the Abusers.

Come Home, to where the Pyre incinerates what remains.

Come Home, to where you belong.

The year is 2035. It has been roughly two years since the Advent Virus infected every human on Earth. Most are asymptomatic carriers—they display no symptoms and are unhurt by the virus. Variants, on the other hand, are genetically enhanced by the virus and given almost supernatural abilities, previously considered to be only possible in comic books or cartoons. Meanwhile, a large minority of the world's population is ruthlessly killed by the virus, falling into comas and passing away.

Alex Westsmith was abused as a child, alongside his younger brother, and his mother, at the hands of his father. The legal system failed Alex and his family, over and over, again and again. So, the teenager, armed with his Variant abilities, does what he must, scouring the city by night, hunting and killing those who abuse others. As the vigilante Pyre, alongside his best friend and computer hacker, Richard Caperno—who operates under the alias Reforger—Alex fights for those who would otherwise fall through the cracks of society.

But when a ruthless new faction of radicals and terrorists abducts one of their classmates, will the Variant vigilante and his hacker ally be able to save her? Or will he have to helplessly watch abuse go unpunished yet again?

In a world where the goddess has fallen, chaos strikes the world. Vigilantes become the law, and Tristan is out for revenge against all wrongdoing.

The story is all about choices and how they impact the lives of multiple people.

What do you think of when you hear the word "secret"? Maybe in kindergarten, your best friend skipped up to you, saying "I've got a secret!" in a singsong voice. That friend would theatrically whisper in your ear. The secret would be, "I stayed up an hour later than my bedtime last night!" Maybe when the two of you got older, it would change to the two of you discussing who liked who, and they said. Well, here's my secret. What is it, you ask? Well if I told you, it wouldn't be a secret...

In a battle of Evil vs. Evil, who will win?

The Vigilantes, a group of the most evil, the most dangerous criminals, fight their way through a city where only the worst of the worst get what they want. And these lovely assassins always get what they want.

Along the way, however, they end up helping the weak and helpless who have been taken advantage of by those with the power to do so. Civilians have had everything they hold dear taken from them, and so the Vigilantes turn their eyes towards the strongest: those who dare to ignore their battlecry.

Through their misplaced heroisms, the group of villains has come to be known as ‘The Protectors of Justice’ - which couldn’t be further from the truth. Will the civilians come to see through their misled doting, or will crime rule the world?
