Book 1

The Empire of the Dead

by Phil Tucker

Published 22 January 2017

She killed the gods. Raised most of their divine children as undead. She should have finished the job.

Acharsis is a shadow of the demigod he used to be. Son of the god of male fertility and knowledge, his charm has been sanded down, his smile broken, but still in the depths of his eyes glimmers an irrepressible desire for life. For adventure. For revenge.

When he drifts back into the life of an old flame, he's quickly caught up in events beyond his control and comprehension. Enlisting the help of an old rival and summoning the few and scattered reserves left to him, he dares to dream of the impossible, to contemplate a scheme so insane that it just might work: to topple and destroy Irella, daughter of the Goddess of Death, killer of gods, ruler of the undead and architect of his fall.

It's time for some holy vengeance.

Trial of Kings

by Phil Tucker

Published 30 January 2018

Against all odds, Jarek and Acharsis have succeeded in their mission, and now they reap the whirlwind. With countless assassins and guards on their heels, they have but one hope: make common cause with their ancient enemy, the empire of Magan, before Irella can launch her invasion.

But that hope lies hundreds upon hundreds of miles away, over the Great Chasm, across the eternal Golden Steppe, and past the Demon's Teeth. And even if they survive the journey, they'll then have to face their most lethal challenge yet: to convince the immortal lamassu gods of Magan to rise and face the greatest army of the dead ever marshaled.

Unpredictable, fast paced, and packed with memorable characters, Trial of Kings is a gripping tale of revenge replete with demons, ancient magic and a high stakes heist.


Book 3

The Valley of the Gods

by Phil Tucker

Published 1 July 2019

Is victory worthwhile if it comes at the expense of everything you love?

To avoid seeing the River Cities destroyed in their efforts to defeat Irella, Acharsis and his friends set forth on a quest that will take them from the darkest depths of hell to the perilous heights of the Gods' Mountain.

A quest that will pit them against the fearsome powers of the daughter of death, a race against time to prevent her from not only conquering the known world, but tearing aside the very veil that separates the spirits of the dead from the land of the living.

A quest whose culmination will force Acharsis and Jarek to decide just how much they are willing to sacrifice in order to save all that they love.
