Synopsis

The Priesthood has been lying for generations.

They buried the truth about Simon Reis—the Forgemaster who died stopping the Blood God Valnijz—and rewrote history to erase his sacrifice. They hid the tools and knowledge needed to return Amder, the god of craft and creation, hoarding power while the Reach starved for hope.

William Reis knows none of this when he makes his father a promise: earn a cloak in Ture's Smithing Guild and prove their family still matters. It's the last thing he says before Cloud—the drug that makes you feel nothing—finally kills him.

But no one from the Reach gets into the Guild. The Priesthood makes sure of it.

So Will cheats. He brings an audition piece no apprentice should have: a Wight Iron hammer forged with the blood of a dead god. When it strikes the Guild's anvil, the relic ignites with divine fire—and every secret Will's been hiding becomes a target.

The Priesthood wants him silenced. A Blood God cult wants him sacrificed. Because Will and his cousin Duncan aren't just the last of the Reis bloodline—they're the final pieces needed to resurrect Valnijz, the god whose creatures killed Will's mother and shattered his country.

Now Will must decide: honor a promise to a dead man, or use the forbidden legacy in his blood to expose the Priesthood's corruption and stop a god's return—before his family's name becomes the weapon that ends the world.

Some legacies are worth dying for. Others are worth burning down.

For readers who love chosen one fantasies, corrupt institutions, and gods who refuse to stay dead—Robert Jordan meets David Eddings with family drama that cuts to the bone.
