The criminal gang known as the Black Hellions knows the truth about Sorin’s origins—and they’re determined to make him pay for it. Sorin has no choice but to climb faster, pushing himself and his team toward the power they’ll need to survive. But the Hellions aren’t the only ones hunting them. Nemari’s family hasn’t forgiven her betrayal, and they have no intention of allowing her to grow beyond their reach. As Sorin and his companions climb higher, they gain new allies and draw the attention of increasingly powerful enemies.

Those who reach the top of the tower supposedly become immortal. After forty years of calculated risks, dead companions, and spent fortunes, Sorin Atharel makes it. The reward? His soul space stripped bare, all his abilities ripped away, and his anima drained to nothing. He wakes in the bottom floor of a tower, but not his tower. Surrounded by strangers in a strange city, he quickly realizes the truth. Far from becoming immortal, his whole life has been reset. If he wants answers to what was done to him, there’s only one way to get strong enough to find them.

It’s been six months since Keiran left his greatest enemy stranded on one of Manoch’s moons, six months of feverish work preparing for the lich’s seemingly inevitable return. Keiran is gathering allies and resources, and working to strengthen himself as much as possible. But when he hits a bottleneck just one step short of finally regaining his full power, never mind solving it before Ammun returns, he’s not sure he’ll be able to solve it, ever.

Keiran of the Night Vale has staved off death for two thousand years. His mind and his magic remain as sharp as ever, but his body is old, worn out, and failing. What he needs is to reincarnate into a new, young body, and he bends his prodigious talents towards doing exactly that.

With the awakening of the lich lord Ammun Nescect, Keiran must contend with his greatest challenge yet. His former apprentice, an archmage in his own right, stands between Keiran and his goals of tearing down the tower rooted in the world core itself.

Keiran, millennia old archmage, has managed to successfully control the reincarnation cycle and retain all of his memories and skills. That’s about the only thing that’s gone right. Mana seems to have all but disappeared, and a cabal of mages from a nearby city have been using the villagers of his new home as a mana farm for their own purposes. How long was Keiran gone? Where did the mana go? Does it have anything to do with the missing moon from the sky or the bizarre loss of the written language from his first life? Why are the best mages on the level of bumbling apprentices?

There are no more answers to be found at home, and it’s time Keiran sees what’s out there with his own eyes. Armed with more mana than ever, he leaves his sanctuary to explore what’s left of the old kingdoms of the world and plumb their depths for lost secrets.

Velik left the frontier behind after finally destroying the source of the endless monsters that plagued it. But life in the Monster Hunters Guild isn’t the fresh start he imagined. People and politics bring a different set of challenges—and Velik has never been good at playing by the rules. Even worse, the guild has a secret, one it’s willing to kill to protect. As Velik comes closer to uncovering the truth, what looks like coincidence might be calculated moves to erase him. And as the danger grows, old enemies stir in the shadows, hungry for revenge.

Monsters don’t fear the dark. They fear him. Velik was changed by a childhood encounter he still struggles to understand. Now he’s something else—faster, deadlier, and armed with a unique class built for one thing: hunting monsters. For ten years, he’s braved the frontier alone, cutting down every beast that threatens the border towns. With each kill, he’s grown stronger, gaining levels and sharpening his skills on the thousands of monsters infesting the wild lands. But something’s wrong.

As Velik searches for new clues to unravel the mystery of the dungeon seeds, a divine beast stalks his path. Its mere presence violates the Compact between the gods, drawing them into the conflict and escalating it to the point where humanity’s existence is threatened. With Velik empowered to act as their champion, he prepares to make war on the unconquerable: a deadly cabal of undefeated immortals who’ve ruled the world beyond the system’s reach for thousands of years. What secrets do they hold?

Der epische Abschluss der Schattengebunden-Trilogie ist da!Die mächtigsten aller Monster richten ihren Blick auf Velik, und der Jäger wird zur Beute.Während Velik nach neuen Hinweisen sucht, um das Geheimnis der Dungeon-Samen zu lüften, stellt sich ihm eine göttliche Bestie in den Weg...

Die Schatten der Grenze verbargen Monster. Die Gilde verbirgt etwas Schlimmeres. Velik hat die Grenzlande hinter sich gelassen, nachdem er endlich die Quelle der endlosen Monsterströme zerstört hat. Doch das Leben in der Gilde der Monsterjäger ist nicht der Neuanfang, den er sich erhofft hatte. Menschen und Politik bringen eine andere Art von Herausforderungen mit sich – und Velik hat sich noch nie gut an Regeln gehalten.

Monster fürchten nicht die Dunkelheit. Sie fürchten ihn. Ein Erlebnis in seiner Kindheit hat Velik verändert, auf eine Weise, die er bis heute nicht vollständig versteht. Jetzt ist er jemand anderes: schneller, tödlicher und mit einer einzigartigen Klasse ausgerüstet, die nur einem Zweck dient – Monster zu jagen. Seit zehn Jahren stellt er sich allein den wilden Landen, tötet jede Bestie, die die Grenzdörfer bedroht. Mit jeder Kreatur, die er erlegt, wird er stärker – steigt im Level auf, schärft seine Fähigkeiten und überlebt inmitten Tausender Monster, die das Grenzland durchstreifen.
