Heroes Die

Set in a dystopian future Earth, corporations send elite Actors like Caine into the fantasy-like Overworld for virtual-reality entertainment watched by billions.

When Caine's wife Pallas is captured by Overworld's Emperor Ma'elKoth, Hari must navigate manipulation from both Earth studios and Overworld powers, unleashing graphic violence in a quest blending love, betrayal, and rebellion against oppressive systems.

The novel subverts fantasy tropes with morally gray characters, intense action, and themes of entertainment, power, and heroism.
