Determined to find his friends, Aldous sets out on a harrowing journey that takes him beyond the veil of death itself. But ancient magic blocks every path, and enemies close in from all sides. As time runs out, Aldous must decide: trust the mysterious stranger—or stand alone in a world tearing itself apart.
When loyalty is tested and darkness reigns, even reluctant heroes must burn to rise again.
Perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie, Glen Cook, and grimdark fantasy full of deadly magic, impossible choices, and friendships forged in fire.
