Courts [Books 1 & 2]

Don’t you hate it when death gods invade your planet and turn it into their personal game of Risk? Peter Kroon does—or at least, he would if he weren’t too busy surviving. Enslaved by a cursed ring that drained his life to fuel an undead army, Peter spent years as a hollow shell of himself. But everything changed in the Stalpia city sewers when a dying resistance captain severed the ring, restored Peter’s sentience, and handed him a mysterious armband—the last hope for humanity, with powers no one fully understands. Now Peter must navigate a broken world, his teenage mind trapped in an eighty-year-old body, as an immortal nine-fingered survivor. With death gods waging war, armies of ghouls marching, and secrets of the armband slowly unraveling, Peter is humanity’s most unlikely weapon. But can one boy defy the gods and save a world already lost? Progression, Gothic Gaslight, Power Fantasy, Slayer.
