Jason is the Chosen One of Prophecy... maybe.
His unmarked body may be the catalyst that brings about the return of the corrupting God of Power, and with him, the threat of madness and chaos. That's enough for the Holy Aian Empire to stop at nothing to see Jason dead, even if that means total war with the peoples of the Free States.
Little do they know Jason's not truly aian or that his controversial body was artificially designed through Hierophane magic. Even if they did know, stopping at nothing means not letting a little thing like the overwhelming possibility this pretender is not the hope (or bane) of aiankind stop them from ending him as a threat.
Since staying home's never been an option from the time they were thrust into this world, Jason and his friends will have to go hard to stay one step ahead of an entire empire in dogged pursuit.
