Kael Veyne was Avelmar's greatest war mage-until the city's ruling magisters betrayed him, stripped his rank, and left him to rot in the Warrens.
Now he's made a pact with something older than the Spellspire itself: the Lord of Dust, a forgotten power that offers vengeance in exchange for flesh. Every day, more of Kael's body turns to glittering ash. Every spell he casts devours another piece of his humanity.
He doesn't care.
The magisters who destroyed him will pay. The lords who profited from his fall will choke on the dust they forced him to serve. And if Avelmar burns in the process? Perhaps a city built on rot deserves to crumble.
But the Lord of Dust has plans beyond Kael's revenge-and the ancient powers of Ash, Sand, and Dust are waking. The bargain Kael struck might save him from his enemies... or unleash something far worse than the men he's sworn to destroy.
In a world where justice is just another word for revenge, how much of yourself can you sacrifice before there's nothing left to save?
Perfect for readers who love dark fantasy, morally grey protagonists, and revenge stories with teeth.
