The only thing worse than losing everything is the darkness it leaves behind. In a nether realm of endless war, where magic and super tech collide across feuding baronies, a haunted queen seeks oblivion on a forgotten island at the edge of the world. ViRauni has lost her kingdom, the war, and the love of her life. Twice. All she wants is to disappear. But the island harbors something ancient and hungry, something with a dire connection to her past. It's been waiting for her. Now she must rally the shattered remnants of the Brigands against a brain-hacked horde closing in from all sides. Hexes and heavy firepower won't save them. Neither will running. But ViRauni's greatest enemy isn't on the battlefield. Her cursed armor feeds on death, and it's starving. The darkness inside her is growing. And part of her welcomes it. Some wars can only be won by the monster you've become. Perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie, Brandon Sanderson, and R.F. Kuang. Surrender to the darkness. Get it now.
