Judge of the DC Universe
When ruthless judge and executioner Kian Mathis is betrayed and left to die by his partner, he believes his life is over. But instead of fading into darkness, he awakens in a strange, endless void and is offered a second chance—a chance to be reborn in a world that desperately needs someone like him.
Kian is transported to Gotham City in the DC Universe, a place teeming with corruption, masked heroes, and villains who wield powers beyond imagination. Unlike the heroes who walk the fine line between justice and mercy, Kian is given a singular purpose: to be the judge this world lacks. Granted powers that amplify his physical and mental prowess, he gains the ability to see into the hearts of others, delivering his brand of justice without restraint.
As he carves a path through Gotham’s underbelly, Kian finds himself crossing paths with both allies and enemies—from Batman, whose strict moral code clashes with Kian’s lethal methods, to crime lords and supervillains who recognize in him a new and unpredictable force. While some see him as a dangerous vigilante, others recognize him as an executioner willing to do what others won’t.
But in a world where power and corruption are in constant battle, Kian must decide how far he’s willing to go. His past life taught him that survival means ruthless pragmatism, but the stakes in Gotham are higher than ever, and he begins to question whether his role as judge will consume him or force him to redefine his sense of justice.
Judge of Shadows is a dark, gripping tale that follows a man from another world who becomes a merciless enforcer in the chaotic heart of Gotham. Faced with heroes who fear his methods and criminals who dread his wrath, Kian must balance his mission against the shadows threatening to engulf him and decide what kind of judge Gotham truly needs.
