A powerful shadow warrior ventures deep into darkness to save his home in this action-packed progression fantasy from the author of the Pilgrim series.

Attica was born to slay monsters. As a Vanguard of the Shadowborn, he grew up hunting the radiant horrors--terrifying light beasts known as Flashwraiths--that stalk the Spiralrealm. Armed with a living Shade, he prowled the gloom between tiers, culling the unnatural to protect his people.

But when the Settlement falls to a devastating Flashwraith assault, Attica is cast into the abyss he once defended against. His sole opportunity for redemption is via a doomed mission. He must retrieve the shattered Crown of Shadows and destroy the prophesied Child of Light.

Meanwhile, the Spiralrealm is unraveling. Power is shifting. And the only path forward is through monsters, madmen, and something far worse: the truth.

Dark Souls meets The Last of Us in the first volume of Shadowborn Exile, a gripping LitRPG series set in a world of twisted beasts, primordial forces, and brutal choices.
