My Sworn Brother Was Tortured,But I Am the God of Thunder!

Thomas Harding, the Sunfire Immortal, grew bored of guarding the Sunfire Temple and dragged his sworn brother down to the mortal world for a taste of the twenty-first century. He became the long-lost true-born son of the Harding family; his brother became the only child of Malcolm Dunn, the city's most powerful syndicate boss. Thomas laughed off the warning that they could always return to the Ninth Heaven, certain no birth parents could harm their own child.

Then, mid-game, a searing pain tore through his sworn brother's Immortal Soul. The Fate Sigil was cracking. Thomas was dying. Racing to the Harding estate with Bruno Kessler, Harry Driscoll and a hundred enforcers, he finds a sterile surgical suite in the basement: Thomas strapped to a table, his marrow draining into a tube, while Irene Harding spoon-feeds soup to Vivian Harding and orders the dosage increased. Filial duty, she calls it.

Quinton Harding arrives with armed guards and refuses to let Thomas leave. The Thunder Lord has no intention of walking away.
