About this ebook

A clueless noble, a clever outlaw, and the soul of a psyker in a dark deadly science fantasy mix.

They call it dark energy or chaos or the Warp. It leaks into our universe at an unpredictable rate. Those sensitive to it can wield its immense power in unimaginable ways. In the Imperium of Mankind, anyone born with such a gift is labeled a psyker and outlawed at every level of society.

Enter Paric Kilhaven, a scion of a noble House and a young man as clueless as he is clever. His future was set until a genetic aberration, a freak encounter, and a curse turned his life inside out. Reality set in. He wasn’t like anyone else. He wasn’t even considered human, but at the end of the day, he was merely a pawn.

Paric navigates the darkly alluring world of his city’s underhive, hoping to escape the fate of an outlawed psyker. Rival gangs and chaotic forces align against him in a fight for the planet’s survival.

Part adventure, part mystery, this dystopian science fantasy novel is appropriate for Adult and Young Adult readers.

Ratings and reviews

A bit difficult to read, lot of incomprehensible concepts and actions but super intelligent writing. A very strong main character, some lovely ladies and death defying action.

fast-paced story telling. kept my attention from the opening sentence. I've listened to the audiobooks but i wonder if i would prefer reading to listening. i like Rory's voice and casting is good. i would say it is condensed story telling, therefore, the story and the series bears up to listening over and over again, each time presenting more detail. also Rory is creating his own new concept fantasy world with its own terminology so listening again connects you to the concepts better each time.

Great read if you like the 40k series
