The Thirteenth God: Revolution

by Django Wexler, Travis Baldree (Narrator)

Final Fantasy meets Mad Max in a military progression fantasy for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl and Gurren Lagann, narrated by Travis Baldree!

Taking down a god isn’t easy…

He’ll need allies, weapons, and warships to start a revolution, plus an ancient mecha that feeds on the very bones of the world to grow stronger.

Together, it might be enough to give Kal a chance against the mighty battleships of the imperial navy. But Kal isn’t the only one with access to legendary war machines…
