HE’S CLAIMED THE CROWN
NOW HE MUST DEFEND IT—AGAINST SAINTS, REBELS, AND GODS
After years of bloodshed, betrayal, and ruthless ambition, Marak has finally seized a throne. But ruling a kingdom is nothing like conquering one—and enemies from across the realm are ready to strike.
In the frozen south, Iradan, the youngest Saint in the history of the Ascendancy, swears to destroy Marak’s kingdom and take his head as a trophy.
Within his borders, rebellion stirs.
And beyond them, ancient powers begin to wake.
To hold his crown, Marak must crush a civil war, outmaneuver divine champions, and forge uneasy alliances with rival empires. But even as he navigates these mortal threats, a far greater danger looms—a war not of kings or armies...
But of gods.
And Marak may be the only one reckless—and powerful—enough to stand in their way.
Book 3 of The Dark Ascension Series continues the relentless rise of an anti-hero who will stop at nothing to build the greatest empire in history. Perfect for fans of The Licanius Trilogy, Blood Song, and Reverend Insanity, this dark progression fantasy delivers brutal stakes, epic battles, explosive magic, and a world that grows deeper—and more dangerous—with every page.
