If power is not used, it dies. Rimon, the new Ring Warlock of Rovik Prefecture, has been summoned by the emperor. Now, he must cross the Tze Empire, where spirits and demons roam the countryside, to have an audience with the emperor in the Ebon Capital. Along the way, Rimon grows in power, stealing apex abilities from all sorts of creatures. He even has his second ring, something no other Ring Warlock has ever had... But when Rimon accidentally kills the emperor's elite guards, he believes the emperor may not forgive him. The punishment for any crime against the empire is death. Determined to protect his people and his new prefecture, Rimon decides he will confront the emperor directly. But what kind of magic does the man wield? It seems it might not be from the rings as all... It might be something even more dangerous and powerful. Rimon will have to master new abilities in half the time in this new Progression Fantasy Adventure by Shami Stovall, the Dragon-Award nominated author of Knightmare Arcanist!
