Summary:

"Black Adam, the merciless ruler and protector of the nation of Kahndaq, has declared an end to the reign of superheroes. Killing those villains who would defy him and creating an international coalition with China and Russia, he is well on his way to reshaping the world to his will. But when Adrianna Tomaz, formerly enslaved, enters into Black Adam's life, a new path forward is discovered. With Adrianna at his side, Black Adam will learn not just how to be a hero to his people, but how to become a hero to the world. Freeing enslaved children across Africa and offering refuge to those in need, Black Adam and his newly formed Black Adam Family offer hope to a world in need ... but can such change last? In the face of tragedies, betrayal, and war, will this vision for Kahndaq endure or will Black Adam's old ways strike back with a vengeance?"-- Provided by publisher.
