Relic Reborn: Book I
When faith dies. The abyss answers.
In Azangrail, faith is not a comfort. It is a weapon, a chain, and sometimes a lie.
Darius Reiver has devoted his life to the Order of Syl 'Van, serving the goddess he was raised to believe in and leading her knights as Grand Master. He has fought in her name, buried men beneath her blessing, and trusted that duty, honour, and faith could hold the darkness at bay.
But when tragedy strikes and Syl 'Van remains silent, the world Darius trusts begins to fracture. Prayer offers no comfort. Duty offers no answer. Anger supersedes faith, and grief drives him toward a bargain that may damn far more than his soul.
Hyrax, Supreme Commander of the demon plane of Shkigal, offers Darius the power and vengeance he seeks. In return, Darius must retrieve the scattered pieces of an ancient relic: the broken staff of Azzazul, a fallen god whose defeat five thousand summers ago never truly ended the war.
Across a land shaped by gods, forgotten races, betrayal, prophecy, and old conflicts left unfinished, choices made in anger can have catastrophic consequences. Knights, assassins, rulers, criminals, demons, and ancient powers are drawn into the same storm, each fighting for belief, power, survival, or revenge.
Some will cling to faith.
Some will use it as a weapon.
Some will discover too late that the gods they serve may not be worthy of them.
Should Darius fail his essence is damned for eternity. Should he succeed then Azangrail burns.
