Jay cartere death god's gambit novel

What's this story about?

He laughed in the face of death...until he came back.

Kai was an orphaned thief, raised by the mob. He had simple dreams, like eating real meat, gaining arcane powers and executing a hostile takeover.

Then, his boss betrayed him and ruined his plans. But getting sacrificed to dark gods in a profane ritual was a lucky break for Kai.

 
Because he learned a dire secret after he died.


Now, as an undead, undercover divine demon, Kai must venture into the Darklands, pass its trials and gain the power to return to Earth and exact his revenge. It won’t be easy.


Eldritch abominations, calculating nobles, ruthless mobsters and scheming Gods stand in his way.


He must choose between saving humanity from the spreading infection of the Darklands, or embracing his demonic heritage and ruling over their corpses.
