The eternal codex

Huryk was the greatest champion of the Valerian Empire—until his strength became a threat to the throne. Betrayed by the very nobles he protected, he was cast out into the Ashen Wastes, a toxic desert where life is meant to wither and die.​But Huryk carries the Chronos Heart, a forbidden artifact capable of warping time and matter. Within the wasteland, he unlocks the power of Corpse Alchemy: the ability to harvest the blood of his enemies and "stitch" the souls of legendary heroes from forgotten eras back into existence.​From blood and ash, he will raise a fortress.From the souls of the fallen, he will build an army.​The Empire expected him to die in obscurity. Now, they will learn that you cannot throw a monster into the darkness without expecting him to return with Hell itself at his command.
