Kel Kade's New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series follows Rezkin, a young man raised and trained in absolute secrecy at a remote fortress by mysterious masters. Armed with unparalleled combat skills and masterful weapons bestowed by a dead king, he is thrust into a world he knows nothing about — except how to survive it. As Rezkin navigates politics, dark magic, and demonic threats, the series expands from intimate intrigue to world-spanning conflict. A unique blend of high-stakes action, deadpan humor, and deep lore.
