About this ebook

Vant Hu’l is cursed. Dragged to the center of a wasteland by a ruthless malevolence, the legendary warrior discovers a cavern filled with devious riddles and fiendish traps. Upon solving the labyrinth, he is confronted by a hideous creature. A beast with unimaginable abilities. A being of unspeakable evil… Death. Without a shred of clemency, the demigod presents Vant with a choice: do his sinister bidding out in the world, or suffer an eternity of horrifying torment. Thus begins Vant’s quest out of the badlands, through the hostile wilderness, into the clutches of twisted townships, and finally toward conflict with the vile stewards of a corrupted civilization. But Vant will not go it alone. In the midst of his journey, he develops an unlikely companionship with a clever and venturesome teenage girl, the expert survivalist Skii Tavee. They also form an alliance with two newfound — but questionable — companions: Kram Grammie, the sneaky con man who is as crafty as he is klepto, and an off-kilter eccentric bizarrely known as The World’s Worst Magician. United, they set out to dispatch their foes, rescue the innocents caught in the crossfire, and unite the forces of a world gone astray, all while reconciling with their own haunting pasts. "Mortal Enemy: Legends of Grim #1" is a tale like no other. It is a relentless whirlwind of action and adventure. A saga of conflicted heroes and devious villains. A journey rife with darkness and struggle, yet also wicked humor. It is jam-packed with nightmarish scenarios, fantastical environments, rich mythology, incredible weapons, unique technologies, and characters dripping with personality, with shocking surprises awaiting you at every turn. Come experience Death… if you dare.

Ratings and reviews

This book, along with the audio drama, is fantastic! In a future world where society no longer worries about starvation or lack of resources, life is tougher than you think. The author has done an amazing job creating a world with unique and relatable characters, each with their own hardships. The story deals with adult situations and explores human nature's darker sides, as well as the sides that shine the brightest in the darkest moments. Advanced technology, supernatural forces and characters, magic, martial arts...my imagination went into overdrive and I couldn't stop diving in! Highly highly recommended!

this book is a worldwind of ups down lefts rights. fantastical and ostentatious. you laugh at the shear lunacy of it all. By far one of the the best books I've ever had the luck to read.

It is a unique and totally enthralling world. It was a privilege to read. Thanks.
