Experience the unforgettable start of an Epic Fantasy adventure perfect for fans of Will Wight, AC Cobble and Michael J Sullivan. Join Ifferon on a journey across the world of Iraldas that will lead him to brave new companions, through the struggles of many peoples, the siege of many lands, and to discoveries that could bring hope to some-or doom to all. But when Agon's armies find his monastery refuge, he is forced to find his courage and embark on a life-changing quest. Ifferon abandons his duty and tries to hide away from the world. Yet there is something just as powerful: Fear.
Armed with a connection to the estranged gods in the Overworld, and a scroll bearing Telm's powerful dying words, he is tasked with ensuring the god's vital legacy: that Agon remain vanquished. Ifferon is one of the last in the bloodline of the dead god, Telm, who imprisoned the Beast, Agon, in the Underworld.
