Blood of the Fallen

Seventeen years of darkness.  Reven believed his mother perished in The Fall—until a vision reveals she may be alive, imprisoned in the King’s castle at Epith’s Reach. Determined to complete a newly accepted Kidnapping Contract and uncover the truth of his mother, Reven embarks on a perilous journey with his father, Deken—a hardened killer whose violent ways are growing harder to justify. As they battle grotesque Beasts and endure brutal trials, long-buried lies and secrets come to light, cracking the bond between Reven and Deken. Reven starts to question the man who raised him, his father’s ruthless way of life, and the truth behind everything he was taught. All he ever wanted was his parents, a normal life, and to bask under the warm hug of the sun. But the more life he lived, the more fantasy that dream became. The truth is brutal: restoring the sky will doom the world above, while keeping Epith in darkness means condemning his own people. Either way, thousands will die. If no one is innocent, who is worth saving?
