The Blastlands Saga: Book One — Ire is a brutal, myth-soaked dark fantasy set in a world that has already died—and refuses to stay dead. When a hardened hunter named Dirk loses his tribe, his family, and finally himself to an ancient god that feeds on rage and suffering, survival becomes something far darker than heroism. What follows is a descent into savagery, possession, and grief, where endurance is the only virtue left and every choice carves the soul thinner. This is a story about what hatred can build, what it destroys, and what remains when a man is forced to live with the monster he’s become.
