The Path: Rae’s Crusade – Hardcover

Description

Hardcover 8.5″ x 8.5″ – 56 pages

For those who enjoy great fantasy books like Shadow and Bone, Wings of Fire, The Neverending Story, and the Kingkiller Chronicle series, this first book in The Path introduces readers to the mythology and world of Ágrios and a stubborn heroine determined to memorialize her brother with more than tears.

Driven by hope and the ghost of her brother, Rae is a member of the Grounder caste – descendants of the dead kingdoms of Agríos who now serve to build and maintain the decadent world within the giant walls of Kípos. One night, Rae’s brother, Odio, is brutally murdered before her eyes. The series of events and questions that collide with her in the days that follow force Rae to question every routine and ritual of her life.

Rae’s life spirals away from Kípos and into a journey that will introduce her to a talking bulwark, a magical blade with a mysterious flame, a tiny fairy-like messenger, and the nature-attuned Erotísi. Rae’s journey takes her deep into the Kingdom’s hidden catacombs, underground worlds, and darkest secrets to face the corruption and greed that has built the world around her, and empowered a brutal dictator as its god-king.
