A Grave for Kings: Book One of the Torchlight Histories 💀 scary.co

A renowned historian guarding a secret thinks he is finally on the right trail to discovering who murdered the woman he loved and why, but things take an unexpected turn when he wakes up in a cell with no recollection of how he got there. When his captor reveals that she knows the nature of his secret and will expose it to the world if he doesn't cooperate, he has no choice but to meet her demands - to recount to her the true details of the man called the Guardian, once a savior to this realm and now its very destroyer. Her own motives unknown, more conflicts begin to rise from the ashes as he recounts the tale. Follow along the paths of several key figures: An earnest young lord who wants nothing more than to be the leader his people need him to be, but even as many see him as a beacon of hope for the future, he is plagued by self doubt as he struggles to piece his war ravaged nation back together. To make matters worse, just as all the pieces begin to fall into the right places, a derelict clan he once believed criminal opposes his rule and shows him that not everything is as he once thought, threatening to change the way he views all that he has been fighting for. A lowborn who rose to knighthood despite his station wants fiercely to protect his lord and prove his highborn doubters wrong, but when he's told he's chasing at shadows he has to toe the fine line between following his instincts and interfering with his lord's affairs. A priest with a mysterious past and hidden motives, he claims to want nothing more than to serve his Gods and the people, but with religion having become almost unconditionally abandoned following the war, not all seems right with this one. And lastly the Guardian, born an outcast from birth merely because of his last name, he wanted nothing more than to be accepted by his peers, but when he's informed at his rite of passage ceremony that he is destined to bring ruin to the world, he has to contend not only with the hatred of those around him, but with fate itself. Amidst war, betrayal, heartache, loss and much more, he struggles to come to terms with the effects that one life can have on so many others. Once a prosperous land, Altera now enters its darkest period with only a faint flicker of hope remaining, some fighting to keep it alight while others fight to snuff it out. Readers will see that the strongest of bonds can form even in the most unlikely of places and will learn exactly why the people of this realm call their world a grave for kings.
