Among the scattered fringe cities bordering the Cienbal desert, the true name of the Monster of Karth is spoken only in whispers...
RAZ I'SYUL ARRO.
A sellsword of the utmost caliber, Raz is a killer of paramount skill and highest regard. Towering tall even amongst the atherian, he is the only of his kind to live free in the "civilized" confines of mankind's varied cultures. He has no need of loyalties, his sole affections pledged to the gold crowns that buy his time and skills. Wed to his blades, Raz's only friends are the Moon and Her Stars and the shadows they bring with the night.
But Raz was not born to the mercenary's way, to the butchery and battle of day-by-day survival. Raz, like a sword, was hammered from steel and fire and ashy smoke, forged on the ruins of an old life.
And Raz knows who he owes this new path to, this carved way of blood and iron. The Monster of Karth, after all, would never forget who gave him that name.
And some debts can't be paid in gold...
The series
In a world where might makes right and mercy is a weakness few can afford, The Wings of War soars into the brutal heart of survival, vengeance, and reluctant heroism. From its first bloodstained pages, the series thrusts readers into the unforgiving life of Raz i'Syul, a dragonborn slave turned reluctant legend—hunted, feared, and forged in fire.
Read full series description
But this isn’t a story about triumph handed down by fate. It’s one where every inch of freedom is earned, clawed from the hands of those who would see power chained and burned. With a voice that blends grit with startling vulnerability, the series strips fantasy down to its rawest edge, delivering pulse-pounding battles, deeply personal stakes, and a protagonist whose rage is only matched by his aching desire for something more than war.
What sets this saga apart isn't just the visceral action or its sweeping, ash-covered landscapes. It’s the emotional gravity—the slow unraveling of a soul shaped by cruelty, yet still capable of hope. Themes of identity, honor, and the cost of revenge echo through every chapter, wrapped in a world where monsters wear both scales and crowns.
Dark, unrelenting, and deeply human beneath its scales and steel, The Wings of War doesn’t offer easy answers. It offers a journey—violent, transformative, and impossible to forget.
