The gift that saves humanity may be the one that destroys it. Volume II – The Gift & The Price continues the epic science-fiction saga inspired by Greek mythology, where progress is no longer measured by what humanity can build, but by what it is willing to sacrifice.

The Novum Gift reveals how salvation can arrive disguised as opportunity, as power is welcomed without fully understanding its cost.

An interesting novel that sparks curiosity and opens one's faculty of imagination.

Six swords. Six elements. Six lives forever changed.

The ultimate power is not a gift—it's a scar. Kael was a blacksmith with the gentle hands of a healer, living a life defined by the rhythm of the forge. That life ends when the Elderfall corruption breaches his village, bringing with it monstrous Gore-Hounds and leaving everything he knows in ash. In the final, desperate struggle, Kael is branded by the very darkness he sought to fight: the Ironheart Rune.

Magic was his weapon. Now, it is his executioner. The Iron Marches are no longer just a battlefield; they are a corridor of ruin, choked by snow, ice, and a metallic ash that coats the world in black velvet. For Kael, the journey into this frozen wasteland is not just a war against the tyrant Roderic, but a war against his own failing body. The cost of the Ironheart Rune has finally come due. The Essence Debt has fractured him, turning his own flesh against the power that once sustained him.

They acquire new, vulnerable passengers—Eli and Mae—each a fugitive carrying deadly secrets and critical intelligence.

Thomas must decide how far he's willing to go, and whether some victories are worth the cost they demand. As the enemy’s assault on the galaxy intensifies and innocents are set to die by the millions, Thomas will quickly discover that honor doesn’t only mean standing for what's right. Sometimes it means standing alone.

This brief outline of the comparatively meagre information we possess on what at one time was the most widely spread mystery-institution in the Roman empire, is introductory to the following small volume which will deal with the only Mithriac Ritual known to us. In dealing with this exceedingly instructive Ritual I found that the limits of one booklet would not suffice for an adequate introduction; and without this, I fear, many listeners will not be in a position to appreciate the Ritual at its just value.

Justo cuando su compañera, la princesa fugitiva Elara, descubre una devastadora doble traición —un pacto secreto entre el clan del norte y el Rey—, su frágil alianza se hace añicos.

Das Mal verwandelt ihn in ein Monster von immenser Stärke, das von der Kälte regiert wird, aber es bietet ihm eine Chance zur Heroischen Erlösung in einer Welt, die ihn lieber brennen sehen würde.
