  • You're looking for lighter fantasy with witty banter instead of grim consequences.

About this book

Alexander and his growing army of soldiers and allies have fled Nova Roma and discovered that the wider world may not be as devastated by monsters as they believed. They sail to ancient Venice, the "Queen of the Adriatic," to learn more about the world beyond Nova Roma. During their journey, they encounter deadly pirates, deceitful merchant families, and mysterious new allies. However, a significant event separates Alexander from everything he cares about, leaving him lost and alone. Alexander must now confront a darker, more violent side of himself that threatens to overwhelm his mind and the new powers he has developed. If he cannot resist the growing corruption within him, he risks becoming a danger not only to himself and those close to him, but to the world itself.
