Path of the Deathless
Synopsis
Book 1 and 2 are available on Kindle and Audible here!
Whatever kills Shiv only makes him stronger.
The world stands against Shiv. He's an outcast in his town, considered an unholy omen. The System seems to spurn him, and the authorities refuse to let anyone grant him a Path, leaving him unable to grow beyond his natural limits. But Shiv was never someone who gave up when the world dealt him bad cards. After years of fruitlessly hunting monsters on his own to earn a Path, Shiv receives an unexpected opportunity: a chance to earn the Town Lord’s favor, and to finally rise beyond the limits of humanity.
Yet, when his town is attacked, and Shiv is murdered in combat, he finds himself bestowed with a Unique Path possessed by no one else.
The Path of the Deathless.
Though he resurrects upon death, his killer casts him down from his frontier town and into the Abyss. In an unfamiliar place of darkness and wonder, Shiv finds himself freed from his previous limits, capable of charting his own destiny, but only if he can overcome countless dangers and lethal adversaries.
But that's ultimately a good thing for Shiv, because where most find the end of their stories in death, he will discover only power. After all, how scary is a dangerous world when death is so nutritional?
