Description

An immortal tyrant. A kidnapped prince. A young knight on his first mission.The fate of the world hangs in the balance.
When Guardian Knight Gerald Caelen sets out to rescue the last heir to a fallen empire, he faces more than enemy blades. Dark magic, buried secrets, betrayals, and rising gods threaten to shatter the realm itself.
Haunted by his past and hunted by demons, Gerald and a band of warriors, mages, and a deadly assassin must strike deep into the Videronian Empire. Their mission: stop the immortal warrior-mage Adrian Zartun before he completes a dark rite that will grant him dominion over life, death… and the entire world.
As heaven and hell stir, Gerald must unlock powers he barely understands and face truths he isn’t ready for. Sacrifices will be made. Secrets will be unearthed. And the line between hero and villain will blur.
Perfect for fans of Brent Weeks, Brandon Sanderson, and The Witcher—with echoes of classic fantasy by Margaret Weis and Mercedes Lackey.
