The evidence of betrayal abounds, as the young boy attempts to escape the pitfalls and traps that seem to be coming at him from every direction. Forced by his Master to seduce the ruling class of House Elders, a group of aging perverts, Maximillian has resolved himself to do the unthinkable. He is ready to embrace his fate, if only long enough to break his collar. His task appears easy enough, but nothing in the House is what it seems. Beautiful would-be assassins, brutish bullies, and ancient men with bizarre fetishes covet the 'Priceless metal.' Maximillian has already endured much terror, but he still has so far to go. Thankfully, he has managed to raise an army to aid him in his fight for freedom. Unfortunately, he can't seem to get his recruits to work together as a team. Maximillian is desperate to persuade the 'Maxes' to stop trying to kill each other before their 'self-harming' antics lead him to destruction. Unable to trust his dishonest Master with his darkest secrets, Maximillian does his best to hide the growing madness within his head. Too bad for him, the most dangerous man in the House is drawn to the darkness. Jonas has arrived to make all Maximillian's dreams come true. All the frightened boy must do is swear himself to the 'Vampire' and pay the bloody price.

What has always been most perplexing to me about previous philosophers is their will to align this world with infinitude. They assign totality to everything and kill it in the same breath. Therefore, I deem the strata of ultimate perpetuation the strongest philosophical foundation-my utility," thought Andrew Fisk. These two works, A World of Synthesized Utility and The Seven Solitudes, posit that everything in this world has stood on its head. A World of Synthesized Utility presents Fisk's take on metaphysics that posits man as entirely consumed within the natural ebb and flow of the cosmos. He examines questions such as the nature of ideality, the existence of God, the burdens of freedom and their epistemological foundations using the critical and paradigmatic eye of utility, his notion that existence is a simple manifestation of potential and actual infinitude. Formulaic on paper while greatly applicable in practice, it attempts the reversal of virtually endless values and sets the scene for The Seven Solitudes. Featuring immense rhetoric, full scale attacks on democracy, liberty, and ideality, and introducing a new line of characters he believes ought to make their presence in this world soon, it supplements AWOSU effectively in that it offers prescriptive methods for controlling one's utility. A glowing, adventurous stance on metaphysics, any reader or student of philosophy, theology, and even the natural sciences will find these pieces essential.
