Kingdom of Ash: Cart The Soulless, Book Two

The dead do not rest in the Western Realms. 

Continue the saga of the Western Realms in Book Two of the Cart the Soulless series.

Cart the Soulless once died battling the goddess Elkai during the First War of the Gods. Now resurrected in service to Isilbane, he marches once more beneath the banners of war. 

Across the realms, kingdoms crumble beneath political treachery, ancient rivalries, and the growing influence of the gods.

Monstrous creatures stalk the wilderness. Armies beat the drums of war. Kings and queens hatch plans to secure victory. 

But the coming war is not driven by hatred alone. 

From the shadows, kings and warlords search desperately for a lost weapon said to possess the power to shape the future of the Western Realms itself. Some seek it to save their kingdoms. Others seek it for protection against rogue gods. 

And Elkai, Goddess of Death, is preparing something far worse. 

Using dark magic, the goddess of death seeks to unleash a terror capable of reshaping the world through ruin and slaughter. 

As kingdoms race toward annihilation and the gods tighten their grip upon the world, Cart must decide what remains of his humanity, and whether even the Soulless can stand against the wrath of gods. As he marches toward inevitable war, he seeks to reunite with the family he once lost. 

Perfect for fans of The First Law, The Malazan Book of the Fallen, Between Two Fires, and The Black Company. Featuring brutal warfare, dark gods, monstrous horrors, and dark epic fantasy.
