The Forge of Worlds: Book 1 Part 2

Before the first kingdom rose, Arden forged creation from grief and steel—and struck a bargain to save it.

Now the cost of that bargain is coming due in the lives of ordinary people: those trapped beneath the weight of family legacy, those forced into impossible choices and told they should be grateful, those struggling to build a new life from exile, loss, and survival. None of them know they are pieces in a game that began before nations were born—or that the forge that made the world is going cold.

Souls of the Descendants is epic fantasy for readers who want tragic gods, bloody politics, and characters marked by the kind of inheritance that never passes cleanly from one generation to the next.
