**This combined edition contains the first three novels of the Awakened series: Awaken His Eyes, Paths of Destruction, and Hands To Make War.** THE HISTORY: Over five thousand years ago, a renegade faction of angels abandoned the spiritual realm and began their inhabitation of earth. Worshiped as gods for their wisdom and power, they corrupted the realm of the physical and forever altered the course of history. THE PROPHECY: Amidst the chaos of a dying world, a lone voice foretold the awakening of a warrior who would bring an end to this evil perpetrated against all of creation. But with the cataclysmic destruction of earth and rebirth of humanity, the prophecy went unfulfilled and eventually faded from the memory of our kind—until now! THE AWAKENED: The physical dimension is fractured. What remain now are numerous fragmented worlds moving simultaneously through time, sharing a common history, connected only by a guarded portal. On a parallel earth, a child is rescued from prison and trained in the arts of war by a mystical order of clerics. When he returns to his home in search of his family, he becomes entangled in a brutal conspiracy to gain control of the Empire. Racing to unravel the secrecy of the enemy's identity and motive, he is haunted by the memories of his past and drawn by the destiny that awaits him. In the first trilogy of his bestselling debut series, Jason Tesar launches an epic saga that will journey from earth's mythological past to its post-apocalyptic future, blending the genres of fantasy, sci-fi, and military/political suspense.

Tsuguhiko Kadokawa (80), a former chairman of publishing firm Kadokawa Corporation, was arrested by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office on September 14, 2022, on suspicion of bribery related to the Tokyo Olympics. He was held in pre-trial detention, in a solitary room, for 226 days while he continued to deny the charges.As he peered at the winter moon through a corner of a small window in an unheated cell under 24-hour surveillance, he likened the window that had been made to be seen—rather than to see out of—to the fake criminal justice system and democracy that he was experiencing.Repeatedly denied bail despite his ailing health, the author was subjected to ""hostage justice"" as the criminal justice system waited for him to give in and confess.""You won't leave here alive,"" detention center doctors warned him. This book also explains the legal procedures the author is taking to end hostage justice, including his lawsuit against the government that asserts the unconstitutionality of the system because it violates the Japanese Constitution and international human rights law.
