I · The Main Plot

Where We Start

Orodan begins as a time looper betrayed by the gods, carrying divine blessings that corrupt his soul.

Major Plot Points & Spoilers

  1. The hostile gods of Inuan hunt Orodan to reclaim the blessings he carries (Aethon blurb).
  2. Even for a time looper the odds are bad: the Eldritch Avatar and the world's corruption are also closing in (Aethon blurb).
  3. Every loop begins in danger, so Orodan has to fight, die and start over repeatedly (Aethon blurb).
  4. He has no talent for plans or clever schemes, so he keeps charging at his problems until they or he gives way (Aethon blurb).
  5. Amazon lists the Kindle edition at 466 pages and Audible lists the audiobook at 16 hours 37 minutes, narrated by Daniel Wisniewski.
  6. Book 3's blurb states that Orodan's fight with the Eldritch Avatar reaches a climax at which he awakens a rare Celestial-class skill, which anchors where this book's storyline ends. Named allies and chapter order are not recorded in our sources.

Where the Book Leaves Off

Book 3's blurb opens right after the climax of Orodan's fight with the Eldritch Avatar, where he awakens a rare Celestial-class skill. So this volume hands off at the Avatar fight and the Celestial skill, though the exact last chapter is not recorded.
