The Raven Thief
Born of the wastelands, Spheris Arnadel, a young skilled thief, finds himself subject to a twist of fate when he steals a powerful relic and becomes a Bearer — humans gifted with powers from the Gods. As a punishment for his theft, he is cast into an otherworldly realm alongside other Bearers, where he faces off against monstrous beasts and powerful enemies. Yet, in his determination to return to the Continent and save his dying mother, Spheris is hell-bent on surviving the abyssal world. Even if it means giving his body to the Dark God whose powers he had stolen... even if it means losing all of his humanity.
• Bellunder's Distress
"What the Hell do you mean he was attacked?! In my very own walls! In my bastion! Attacked!!?"
The camikenyan wine cup on the table shook as Lord Bellunder slammed the furniture with evident distress. His eyes glared at the marshals standing before him, including Gareth, the Head Marshal, who seemed very disgraced.
"My Lord, it was the Mystagogue himself, the one you had summoned to teach the Bearer," Gareth revealed.
"Bestar?" Bellunder's face contorted. "Bestar Ivyssis is an assassin?!"
"That is what the streets are saying, Your Eminence," Oson said from beside the Duke. "It seems that Bestar Ivyssis had a hidden occupation. An assassin with a hundred percent success rate."
"We found this on the courtyard." Gareth dropped a medallion on the table before the Duke.
Bellunder gazed down at it, eyebrows knitted in disarray. "An Assassin's Oath Talisman."
