Synopsis

How do you kill an Immortal?

Huon is weak. A surgecaller who escaped into the wilds, his only goal was to survive.

Now he is Oathbound, forced to fight in an arena, forced to become stronger than he’d thought possible.

As he realises he can become strong, the need for revenge fills his heart, and a new goal forms in his mind.

But his goal is impossible: kill the dragon rider, the Immortal of Fire.

To succeed, he’ll have to do more than just survive—he’ll have to advance beyond anything the realm has ever seen.

In the spirit of progression fantasies like Cradle and Mage Errant, enter a realm with magical beasts, where surgecallers can cultivate essence to strengthen their weapons, enhance their bodies and wield elemental magic.

Not all fates are created equal...

Kenji’s only dream in life is to become a great rebirther like his father. But with no talent for the mystic arts, the age-old tradition of cultivating essence by returning things to their newborn state, to grow a second and third time, is far beyond his grasp.

Worse still, he is yet to be rebirthed himself and stands a dullard of a giant among his diminutive peers. Relegated to working the orchards as a common laborer, Kenji settles into a life of lowered expectations; with no chance for advancement and no chance of pursuing the woman he loves.

But when a mystic warrior from a distant land enters his village, pursued by a powerful demon, Kenji discovers a truth about himself that will not only question who he is, but perhaps everything he can become.

With a chance to make his dreams come true, Kenji must choose between following the fate laid out before him…or defying the heavens to forge his own path.

Doing so will mean finding a way to cultivate and fighting powerful enemies to protect the ones he loves, but failure could mean the very fall of the heavens themselves.

Join Kenji as he uncovers the fate of the Sundered Soul…
