Hearts of Corrupt Fire
After an abrupt and painful summons to Black City, Conryu Koda finds himself before the Reaper.
The demon lord has troubling news.
It seems that followers of his rival, Lord Abaddon have succeeded in consecrating a temple. This gives them the same access to his hell that Conryu has to the Reaper’s.
As the hunt for the enemy temple begins, Conryu is forced to deal not only with demonic foes, but human ones determined to make use of Abaddon’s followers for their own dark purposes.
With threats coming from every direction, can Conryu and his loyal friends find a way to stop Abaddon’s plans in their tracks?
For the sake of the world, he’d better.

James E. Wisher
James E. Wisher is a fantasy author whose stories favor patience, structure, and long-form worldbuilding over spectacle. His books unfold at a measured pace, inviting readers into carefully constructed worlds where magic follows rules, power is earned through effort, and choices carry lasting consequences. Rather than rushing toward constant twists, his writing settles into the slow accumulation of skill, knowledge, and responsibility.
A lifelong reader of fantasy and science fiction, Wisher began writing seriously early in life, shaped by classic epic fantasy and later influenced by progression-focused storytelling. That background is evident across his work. Training, preparation, and strategy matter in his novels, and characters rarely stumble into greatness by accident. Growth comes through discipline, setbacks, and an understanding that power, once gained, changes both the individual and the world around them.
