Yale Cole, Ninth Prince of the empire, endures horrific betrayal when his ambitious elder brother and a conniving consort frame him for high treason. To strip him of royal authority, they violently tear out his sacred Sovereign Bone, tossing his shattered, bleeding body into a mountain canyon to be devoured by vultures.
Instead of perishing in agony, Yale unlocks a sealed primordial tower within his spiritual consciousness, discovering an ancient demon entity that rebuilds his frame with divine hellfire. Wielding the demonic blade and devouring the cultivation of every assassin sent to silence him, Yale begins a ruthless march back toward the imperial throne.
