The Barren God (2016)

A prequel short story to the Immortal Ashes trilogy

The people of the Zend don't bury their dead, nor do they burn them. Instead, they build towers.

When corpse-bearer Kurosh sees soldiers on the horizon, he knows that his way of life is over. What he doesn't know is just how significant this moment is for the world at large.

Everything is about to change.

Witness the arrival of the Kem on the historical stage. With fire and steel, they begin a conquest that will culminate in the events of The Burned God.
