Forget the shining armor and noble quests. In this world, becoming a hero is the ultimate punishment reserved for the absolute worst scum of society. Welcome to the Hero Penal Force, where the condemned are dumped directly onto the front lines to face the demon king's nightmarish army. There is no escape, not even in death. If you fall, you are simply resurrected to bleed, scream, and die all over again.

Leading this pack of disposable degenerates is a man who committed the ultimate taboo: murdering a goddess. But when this notorious god-killer crosses paths with a new deity, a fragile, world-shaking contract is forged. Can a criminal forced into heroism actually change the fate of the world, or will the cycle of endless slaughter consume them all?

Sentenced to Be a Hero flips the fantasy genre completely on its head. Packing explosive action, razor-sharp dark humor, and intense drama, this is a gritty ride you do not want to miss. Strap in, because the battle for survival has just begun.
