Where Steel Failed (The Old Hunger Book 1)

At an isolated monastery, Seraph watches a single man tear through the finest soldiers in his kingdom. Their armor, their training, their courage—none of it is enough.

He survives. His companions do not.

A secret warrior order takes him in and offers him a way to face the killer. First, he must learn to wield the forces that made his sword useless. His teachers can fade from sight. Powers he never knew existed begin to answer him. Every lesson hurts.

His old life taught him whom to obey. This new one demands that he decide whom to trust.

With Miriam and Reidell, Seraph leaves the sanctuary to hunt the man who killed his fellow soldiers. Their search for the killer and the relic he stole draws them into a war between kingdoms.

The people beside him give him reasons to care about more than vengeance. The power growing within him gives him something else: a hunger he must learn to govern before vengeance governs him.
