Keeper of the ashes
A world the gods abandoned forty centuries ago.
Their departure is tied to what historians call the Dark Age an era when monsters appeared across the land, seemingly from nowhere. But the monsters were never the greatest threat. The greatest threat was mankind itself. They built domes over their cities and called it civilization.
Sirius Val Varagorn is an ordinary bank clerk scraping by on a modest salary while the UN wages war against something called the Octopus. His one comfort in life is reading novels. Then one day, an enemy takes his life and Sirius is reborn in the body of Sven Laokard, heir to one of the great wealthy clans, straight out of a story he once read.
He adapts. He learns the rhythms of this strange world of rituals. He even makes friends.
But then he remembers the main character's true motivation. And he moves to stand against him.
What follows is a gauntlet: monsters, men, races beyond counting, devils, beings from other worlds, and the very architecture of existence itself arrayed against him.
Beyond the dome, the apocalypse is already underway a world where no one is anything without allies and power to back them up.
Follow Sven as he is drawn into the affairs of another world entirely and unravels the secret of the Runes of Ringnom.
