ILZ: The Origin of Evil

by Joshua Bayard

Even a Devil Has a Past

Ilz is a lesser god in a vast world--virtually irrelevant and better off for his anonymity.

Until, that is, a wager between the father of gods and the father of dragons puts the destiny of Orbis Prime on Ilz's reluctant shoulders.

Stripped of his divine power and deposited in the frail, naked body of a mortal human, Ilz must survive the brutality of men, the devious traps of the gnomes, the wrath of gods, and the ferocity of monsters to achieve his goal.

The odds are that he'll fail, but he has one advantage all his adversaries underestimate -- he invented evil.
