Herald

Published 25 June 2024

A thousand years ago the Godless Kings sacked Heaven, devouring angels for the magic in their flesh and the immortality in their blood. 

A thousand years ago humanity's greatest heroes killed God.

Emrik Hostain is the last of the Godless Kings, standing eternal vigil over the lands of Helesia. He swore an oath to wipe out angelkind and is close to his final victory. But when he discovers a new Herald has been born, a human with a divine spark, he knows he must stop them no matter the cost.

Deep in the wintry village of Riverden, Renira lives the dreary life of a washer girl, dreaming of excitement and adventure. When a fallen angel from her mother's past appears with a dire request, Renira's peaceful life is shattered and she's thrown headfirst into a race across the empire chased by an unstoppable wolf princess determined to rip her apart.

Only the Herald can ring in the Fifth Age. Only the Herald can bring the God back to life.

History is written in blood. The future is forged in holy fire.
