An exiled half-elf battles monsters and performs miracles—but there's a cost—in the epic third installment of this fantasy-adventure series.

Kiru the half-elf has traveled the length and breadth of Alterra—a world born from the ruins of Ragnarok and a long-gone Earth—searching for the lost treasures of his father, the slain King Ruken. Paralyzed from the neck down by a fight with the haughty son of a nobleman, he relies on mana to keep him strong and moving.

Following the defeat of the cult of Jormungandr, the orc M'Baku Myev has been crowned queen, and Kiru's loyal cultivator crew, known as Pandemonium, has found success—albeit at a significant cost. Many of their friends and allies died during the world serpent's coup, and Kiru's mental mana core has been damaged. Though it'll heal with time, that isn't a luxury he can afford. Word of the psion's exploits has reached his home in the powerful Kingdom of Blades, and his family's enemies are determined to hunt down the members of Pandemonium.

Forced to flee along with his crew, Kiru must head to the Torn Empire in search of a method to quickly repair his core. Pirates, savage islanders, and monsters lurk around every corner, and his resilience and alliances will be tested. The perilous journey will challenge everything he knows about his power, where it comes from, and what he's truly capable of.

The third volume of the epic progression-fantasy series—originally released on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!
