The Demon Hunter's Apprentice

In Bahbala, the dead do not always rest—and gods do not always remain buried.Liam Gulban has crossed oceans, survived monsters, and carried the voice of a goddess in his blade. But when the trail of his lost friends leads him to the ice-choked ruins of Bahbala, he finds a city abandoned by empire, hollowed by war, and waiting for something ancient to wake beneath its stones.He is not the only one drawn there.Alain of the Twelve Shields should be dead. Instead, Djall has remade him into something monstrous, a broken weapon of shadow and pain sent to hunt Liam down. Emma Feight is alive, but marked by a power older than the gods. And beneath Bahbala’s shattered streets, the tombs are opening.What waits below is more than necromancy. More than corruption.It is a truth the gods buried.As Liam descends into the city’s forgotten heart, old loyalties fracture, dead men rise, and every step brings him closer to the one force even the divine fear.Djall has been silent for ages.His prison is weakening.And he has not been waiting to rise.He has been waiting to be found.
