Curse of Drakar

Born a curse. Feared as a monster. Erlik wants to be a hero. Violence comes naturally to Erlik. Death feels familiar. To most people, he is not a boy, but a monster wearing human skin. But Erlik refuses to become what the world expects. He wants to protect people, not destroy them. In Drakar, a city built by refugees, outcasts, and survivors, he finds something he has never had before: a home. For the first time in his life, he has people worth fighting for. Then war comes to Drakar. As enemies close in, Erlik is dragged into a brutal conflict against monsters, demons, and men. Every battle pushes him further. Every loss forces him to draw deeper on the darkness inside him—the same darkness that makes everyone fear him. To save his home, Erlik may have to become the very monster he has spent his whole life trying not to be.
