Harbinger of the Relic

Caleb Owens asked to be left alone.

Instead, the Void returns him to a world coming apart.

Stranded in an endless desert with only Eithne at his side, Caleb follows rumors of an ancient Relic said to restore everything the world has lost. The path leads north-through ruined settlements, abandoned temples, and lands overtaken by a sickness unlike any he has faced before.

People and animals are becoming something else.

The creatures feed on magic, twist flesh into new forms, and grow smarter with every life they consume. Fire strengthens them. Lightning reshapes them. Some have even begun to speak-and they know Caleb's name.

As he gathers the scattered pieces of the Relic, Caleb is haunted by familiar faces and memories that refuse to remain buried. When an old friend finally catches up to him, she brings a truth more dangerous than the monsters hunting them:

Caleb's choices may never have been his own.

To stop the spreading corruption, he must reach the final temple and confront the powers that have treated him as a weapon since he first entered this world. But with gods, false memories, and borrowed faces all pulling him toward their own desired ending, freedom will require more than making the right choice.

Caleb must prove the choice is truly his.

Harbinger of the Relic is the final book in the completed Void Knight Cycle, blending portal fantasy, survival adventure, body horror, cosmic mystery, found family, and dark humor.
