War made him a legend. Rage made him a monster.
Ariston Dravos known across the battlefield as the Beast of Viriato is Viriato's deadliest weapon, a warrior whose strength can shatter armies... and whose restraint is slipping. When enemy raiders butcher the wounded under his protection, something inside him breaks, unleashing a massacre so brutal even his own soldiers whisper the word he fears most: monster.
As war tightens its grip and a mad warlord named Drakar prepares a final strike, Ariston is forced into an impossible choice: keep fighting and risk becoming the very horror his enemies claim he is or seek salvation in an ancient power forgotten by time.
Deep in the Scorched Wastes lies the Temple of First Light, where the Relic of First Dawn waits behind supernatural trials that test not muscle, but soul. Yet Ariston does not face those trials alone.
Lyra Selene Drakar's own daughter and Ariston's sworn enemy steps into the temple and into his fate. Bound by prophecy, torn between blood and conscience, she becomes the one person capable of anchoring the Beast when the relic's power threatens to consume him.
Together they will cross sacred chambers, endure impossible trials, and clash in a moonlit duel that blurs the line between hatred and desire. But the relic's awakening draws something worse than war an ancient hunger that feeds on slaughter, and a final battle at the Sun Temple where pillars become weapons and divine lightning answers a desperate prayer.
One war. Two enemies. A love that could forge peace... or ignite an apocalypse.
BEAST OF VIRIATO is an epic military fantasy packed with siege warfare, supernatural trials, morally grey choices, and a fierce enemies-to-lovers bond where the price of victory may be everything.
If you like relentless action, mythic prophecy, and high-stakes romance amid war, step into Viriato and meet the Beast.
