He was born with the power to summon a god. They want him dead before he can use it.
Aldester has spent his life hiding in the gutters, surviving on stolen coins and quick hands. But when a botched theft exposes his ability to wield magic-without a pyxis-he's dragged before the most powerful mancers in the realm.
Their tests reveal the truth: he's a Scion, a living conduit for the dark god Darlicci. And for that, the Council condemns him to die.
Now hunted, Aldester must outrun those who fear what he might become. But he's not the only monster lurking in the shadows. A ruthless mercenary with his own motives and a fallen goddess cursed to feed on mortal life may be his only allies-if they don't kill him first.
A fast-paced dark fantasy perfect for fans of morally gray heroes, relentless action, and impossible choices.
