A Hunt Without Mercy. A Relic of Power. A World on the Brink.
Deep within the shadowed expanse of Dire Wood, Cullen and Sharael, along with their sharp-witted, cat-like creature DagGar, are relentlessly pursued by Razor Hunters. Their only hope lies with the Oath Sworn—bound by the same duty.
As they press deeper into the perilous woods, where reality frays and unseen forces stir, betrayal comes from where they least expect it.
At the heart of their journey lies the Dark Razor—a legendary artifact said to raise a king. Keeping it from their relentless pursuers may be impossible, especially as the Thinning closes in, warping the very fabric of their path.
While Cullen battles dissension within their ranks, Sharael must face the consequences of unleashing the Betrayer upon Sansa, the first Inferno. With ancient forces awakening, every choice takes them inches closer to destruction—or redemption.
Self-employed computer technician by day and lifelong storyteller by dawn, I grew up in Sherwood Park, Alberta, where secret tabletop RPG sessions sparked my creativity.
