  Summary

  "Save them. All of them."

  Dropped right outside of Hallownest at the onset of the Infection, a nobody man-turned-moth is tasked with preventing the oncoming apocalypse, by any means necessary.

  But what can one mere mortal do in the face of divine wrath?

  Improvise, adapt, overcome.

  Rise to the challenge.

  Or die trying.
