The Oathbreakers

Book excerpt: The Kingdom of Elesia stands upon the brink of ruin. A brewing war with the empire to the south threatens to engulf the entire continent in turmoil and chaos. But while kings and lords fight over petty things like power and control, a far greater threat grows in the shadows. Monsters and strange beasts roam the countryside in numbers which seem to be growing faster than once thought possible. Darkness sweeps over the land. Some even believe that an ancient evil stirs, awaiting the chance to break free of its eternal prison. A lone monster hunter finds himself being drawn back into a world he thought he’d left behind when he is tasked with hunting and killing a monster for the man who had caused the grief and traumas that have left him a broken man. Aided by an assorted crew of powerful fighters, the monster hunter must confront both his own past and a world falling to chaos as he fights both man and beast on a perilous quest that will bring him ever closer to the rising darkness and the powerful creatures that draw strength from it. But in a world full of monsters, the monster hunter may yet come to realize that the worst monster of all is the one born of grief and trauma that lurks within himself.
