HE WAS BORN TO DEVOUR SOULS
HE WAS RAISED TO KILL A GOD
Three centuries after the rise of the Autarch, the world is a prison of ash and silence.
Marak—once mortal, now something far worse—rules an empire of fear with immortal hands.
But in the shadows of the Withered Isles, a weapon has been forged in secret.
Aurion Asar is a necromancer, bred and shaped by a hidden cabal of death mages to become a soul-eater—a living vessel for the powers of the dead. His purpose? To bring the Autarch’s reign to an end… or die trying.
But the path to godslayer is paved with corpses—and choice.
Haunted by power he barely understands, and joined by Justinia—a gleefully unhinged assassin with a long, bloody past—and Stumbles, his loyal (and somewhat rotten) undead cat, Aurion must decide:
How much of himself is he willing to lose to destroy the god who rules the world?
Because in this empire, even destiny has a price.
SET IN THE SAME WORLD AS DARK ASCENSION and featuring a weak-to-strong protagonist, progression fantasy elements, unique magic, and constant action. Perfect for fans of Mother of Learning, The Sword of Kaigen, Cradle, and He Who Fights Monsters!
(You don't need to have read Dark Ascension - which starts with Path of the Knight - to read this series)
Genre: Fantasy
