The Traitor's Mark

By Solomon Mpanga

THE TRAITOR'S MARK (Book 1 of The Traitor's Testament)

In the shadows of a dying empire, loyalty is the first lie-and betrayal is the only truth.

Viktor Dain is the king's most feared assassin, a blade in the dark who has sacrificed everything in service to the crown. But when a routine execution uncovers a conspiracy that reaches the throne itself, Viktor discovers his entire life has been built on deception. The Brotherhood-an ancient order of oathbreakers and skin-stealers-has infiltrated the highest levels of power, and their coup begins with Viktor's name on their list.

Now branded a traitor, hunted by his former allies, and armed only with a stolen list of conspirators and his lethal skills, Viktor must tear apart the kingdom he swore to protect. But in this game of shifting allegiances, every truth cuts deeper than the last:

- A king who betrays his own shadows
- A mentor who died twice
- A weapon that hungers for souls
- And a mark that cannot be removed-only earned

The Traitor's Mark is a relentless descent into political intrigue, bone-deep betrayals, and the monsters that wear human faces. Perfect for fans of grimdark fantasy like Joe Abercrombie's The Blade Itself and R.F. Kuang's The Poppy War, this explosive first installment will leave you questioning every character's motives-and begging for the next chapter.

Praise for The Traitor's Mark:
"A masterclass in betrayal-I couldn't turn the pages fast enough."
"Viktor Dain is the antihero we've been waiting for-ruthless, brilliant, and utterly unforgettable."
"The perfect blend of political thriller and cosmic horror. I was hooked from the first bloody page."
