by John Gregory Betancourt

First published 2016

Obere serves as a loyal soldier until forces beyond his understanding tear him from everything he knows. Thrust into a universe where ancient powers clash and deadly creatures rule, he must hide his confusion while navigating treacherous politics. The young warrior discovers he belongs to the House of Dworkin, a bloodline caught in a feud spanning ages. His enemies want to destroy his newfound family and crush any hope of creating a realm of light to counter the forces of Chaos. Obere faces a brutal choice: remain a helpless pawn in games he barely comprehends, or venture into the serpent's den itself. He must enter the Courts of Chaos, the very heart of enemy territory, to claim his birthright and protect those he has come to love. The fate of an entire universe hangs in the balance.
