Condemned for a crime he did not commit, Tom Rey, a bastard with the gift of summoning, faces execution in the towering Greystone Castle. His stepmother, Lady Isolde, has orchestrated his downfall, and the kingdom has cast its verdict. But when all seems lost, in a final act of desperation, Tom summons Esder, the dreaded God of Death.
He does not seek mercy. Only vengeance.
Yet Esder offers him more than retribution—he grants him a power that could reshape both his fate and the fate of the kingdom. But with this power comes an unavoidable choice: to be consumed by the darkness of vengeance or to carve a path toward redemption.
In a world of betrayal, forbidden magic, and deadly secrets, Tom must confront not only those who condemned him but also the shadow that threatens to consume his soul.
