ESCHATON

by J.H. Smith Ongoing

Synopsis

In the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Eschaton, Vagari is a man driven by guilt. As an immortal from before the End of Days, he is forever haunted by his own role in the world's ruin. For centuries, he has combed the ashes for an ancient tome—a relic he believes holds the key to undoing his catastrophic past.

Just as hope begins to fade, his closest ally, Alto, delivers the impossible news: the book has been found. But Vagari’s relief is shattered when he arrives to find Alto brutally murdered and the tome gone once more—spirited away by Alto’s fleeing daughter, Soprano.

With Alto’s killers hot on her trail, Vagari must race across the unforgiving wastes to save both the girl and the world’s last hope. Joined by a mysterious homunculus named BP, Vagari’s quest forces him to confront a web of deeply buried secrets. Together, they uncover the staggering truth behind the apocalypse, each other, and a reality far greater than either ever imagined.
