Kagen the Damned

Jonathan Maberry

In a world ravaged by war, Kagen the Damned is a haunted wanderer abandoned by his gods and stripped of nearly everything he once was. As he wages a relentless campaign against his enemies, Ryssa, a young acolyte of the Garden religion, flees the invading Hakkians and is drawn into a perilous journey of faith, survival, and discovery. Their paths converge amid the collapse of the Silver Empire, forcing them to confront brutality, betrayal, and the cost of doing what is right. A dark, sweeping fantasy of war and redemption, the novel explores the fragile remnants of humanity in a world where gods, empires, and loyalties have all failed.
