Of Land and Bone
Of Land and Bone
Book One of A Desolate Tale
When the world took everything from him, Lorian Glint rose from the ashes-dead in name but not in purpose.
Glend Haven has fallen. Count Varik's forces raze the land in a conquest forged in fire and fear. Amid the wreckage, a farm boy is cast into the wilds, left to die. But death does not claim him. Instead, it whispers. Beneath the ruins of Ashenhold, Lorian discovers a forbidden legacy: the power to raise the dead, to bind the soul to the bone, and to reshape the world in his image.
Across the kingdom, Orianna Knotlen enters the Royal Academy, unaware her father's rebellion is crumbling. As she studies divine magic and navigates the treacherous court, her prayers awaken something ancient-something watching.
Their fates are woven by loss, vengeance, and the relics of a forgotten age. But as kingdoms rot and ghosts stir, one truth becomes clear:
Not all who rise are saved. Some are claimed.
Of Land and Bone is the first novel in A Desolate Tale, a dark fantasy saga written by first-time author Zachery A. Hager and brought to life through AI-assisted storytelling. Perfect for fans of Berserk, The Witcher, and The Poppy War, it's a story of gods, monsters, and the thin line between justice and ruin.
