Born to fell trees. Now he must topple an empire.

“What a magnificent journey… I’m sad it’s over.” —Susan, Amazon customer
“Even the magic is original… elves and dwarves have unique twists.” —Janet, BookBub reviewer
“P.C. Darkcliff genuinely is one of the best epic fantasy authors I’ve had the pleasure of reading.” — Lita, Goodreads

In a land torn by savage war and dark magic, only fools dream of glory. Derrik is the biggest fool of all. He dreams of protecting the weak — to the amusement of his neighbors.

Then the monsters descend, and the laughter curdles into screams.

With death snarling at his heels, Derrik plunges into a quest no mortal should survive. Hunted by a mage who has never lost and never forgiven, he turns to an ancient elf he instinctively distrusts… and a volatile dragon whose motives he cannot guess.

His quest drives him through icy plains and blazing deserts, through realms of dwarves, mages, and warlike nomads. They all warn him of one entity, whose name they whisper like a curse.

The Balebringer. Stirring at the bottom of a frozen ocean. As he tosses in his sleep, the earth heaves and cities shatter. His awakening will unmake time and erase history — and horned Wrathlords are creeping into his realm.

Derrik must follow them into the darkness to save the world. Prepared to fight. Prepared to die. But not ready to face the truth.

The Wrathlords are suddenly fleeing the abyss in blind terror.

Yet Derrik keeps descending.
