nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Magic is strictly for the gods. That rule is one that Layten and all Northerners follow to the letter. Only fools and those who would do evil would ever attempt to usurp the power that the gods use. But now, after the events of the Anchorhold, Layten and his friends, Hopwell, Wix, and Gilly are thrust into a land where magic rules. Prisoners of Calmar, the single most powerful caster in the world of Alos, Layten and the others search for a way home. As Vilom plots to complete the task set forth by Sartum, Calmar discovers secrets of his own. Secrets that could break the North and all they hold to be true. The truth of Sartum's plan is becoming clear, and everyone is playing a part. Except for one mysterious figure.

About this title

Synopsis

They didn't curse him. They built him.

Layten Grayread wakes in chains beneath Calmar's fortress, separated from Wix and Gilly, locked in lightless stone. The Anchorhold has fallen. The Southern strike was surgical, devastating—and Layten is exactly where Calmar wanted him.

Because Calmar knows what Anchors really are.

For years, the most powerful—and most arrogant—caster in the free lands has been researching the truth behind Anchor magic. And now, with three captives in his dungeon, he has proof. When Layten does something no Anchor should be able to do, the horrifying reality comes into focus:

Anchors aren't born broken. They're casters, perverted by Sartum and bound to staffs that use human souls to twist their gifts. The Void inside Layten isn't a curse. It's corruption. A weapon forged by a mad god.

And the staff he carries? It's not a tool. It's a leash.

In the North, Vilom has slaughtered the surviving Anchors and seized absolute power. Sartum speaks through him now, commanding obedience with pain that shatters minds. Every executed Anchor feeds the god who made them—and the crusade has become divine tyranny.

But there's a third force moving in the shadows. The Leuh blooddancers are hunting, manipulating, reshaping the conflict for purposes even Calmar doesn't understand. And his arrogance will cost him everything.

To save Wix and Gilly, Layten must do more than accept the truth of what he is. He must learn to wield the Void as a weapon—not to absorb magic, but to unleash it. To become the thing he's spent three books fearing.

Because in the dark, chained and desperate, Layten Grayread is done being a tool.

Book Four of The Ascendant Path. The gods didn't curse the Anchors. They weaponized them. And some weapons learn to fight back.
