Eight Vol 2

Asher thought rescuing his father would be the hardest part... He was wrong.

Passing through a remote fishing village, Asher and Seri sense something deeply wrong. The men and children are gone.

The women left behind watch them with hollow eyes. And the villagers themselves are not what they seem.

Their suspicions lead them to Noxmere City. A place where corruption is law, and human lives are traded under the protection of powerful nobles.

The mercenaries haunting the village are only the first link in a chain designed to fill slave quotas for the city's markets. To save the captives, Asher makes an unthinkable choice: he infiltrates the operation by posing as a slave, placing himself at the mercy of a system designed to break people.

One mistake will expose him - and in Noxmere, exposure is a death sentence. But betrayal waits where he least expects it.

As enemies close in and secrets unravel, Asher uncovers a scheme far greater than a single city's greed... a conspiracy that reaches into the highest ranks of power and threatens the stability of the entire realm.

Meanwhile, far from Noxmere, deep beneath the earth, something ancient stirs within Selenthia's Crystal Dungeon.

The signs are unmistakable.

The ascension is coming.
