There’s something wrong with Robyn Rathburn’s son…

Something sinister and demonic hides in his shadow, has been there since the day he was born. Something Travis’s birth mother summoned, but she didn’t pay the price, died before she could.

But these types of contracts are hereditary, you know. Blood oaths are signed and bound and that

Blood

          Passes

                      Down…

This thing wants energy, it wants rapturous, cult-like adoration and devotion. And Travis has a band—the stage could be its altar.

………………

The first time Hunter watched Travis Rathburn perform in a little bar in Charlotte, North Carolina, he knew that they should make music together. After months worth of touring with separate bands on the same stages, they form a close friendship, and so it honestly seems like fate when they form their own nu metal band, Split-Axe, a year later.

But Travis has this aura around him, it’s something manic and fraught—a nexus of misfortune. There’s something dark brewing in North Carolina and it’s not just Travis caught in its wake, so is everyone around him.

The Urge was meant to be a gift from Kelrath’s unholy father, Bhaal. Was promised to him, to be borne by him and him alone. So when he comes face to face with a young man also under the Urge’s thrall, another crafted by Bhaal’s hands, it’s a complication Kelrath never expected.

Is it a test from Bhaal? Or merely the god of murder taunting him.
