Sylas Runewulf has been dead for about a month, but he's making the best of it. The former battle-hardened swordsman is now a brewer and pub owner in the town of Ember Hollow. He's also made a few friends here in the Underworld. Plus, he has a pet in Patches the cat, and he recently bought a farm, complete with a peppy pup named Cornbread. Not bad for someone who once lived and died by the blade. The trouble is Sylas could very well die by the blade again--or else something much worse. Because his pub overlooks the worst place in the afterlife: the Chasm, home to demons and monsters that frequently rise up and wreak havoc, often killing a local or two. With the looming threat of an invasion from the Chasm's fiery depths, Sylas must look to his growing community for the power to survive--and ensure his new friends and neighbors are allowed to continue to rest in peace . . . read more

There are three levels to the afterlife. The best level is the Celestial Plains at the top. At the bottom is the worst level, known as the Chasm. And in between lies the Underworld. That's where Sylas Runewulf, a brave soldier who gave everything to his kingdom, finds himself after he dies. Following the guidance of a mysterious blue prompt, Sylas journeys to the town of Ember Hollow to breathe new life into a quaint local pub. Along the way, he meets a clever apothecary named Mira, who helps him acclimate to the ins and outs of the realm, and Patches, a corpulent cat who's slightly . . . shall we say, unusual. Dubbing the pub "The Old Lamplighter," Sylas hopes it will be a safe haven for other weary souls. Of course, it doesn't feel that safe when the prompt reappears with a warning: [You have 89 days until the invasion.] As Sylas works to decipher the troubling message, he faces more challenges, travels far and wide, and befriends wayward demons, magical creatures, and lost warriors. He also builds a community around his humble pub-one that he must soon defend, or they'll all face a fate much worse than death . . .

Even with the game system and mancer class forced onto him by the alien monoliths known as Godwalkers, Sterling just wants to farm his peppers in peace and live out the rest of his troubled existence in quiet.

Inspired by The Dark Tower, Old Man Logan, and Red Dead Redemption, best-selling author Harmon Cooper takes you on a high-octane thrill ride through desolate landscapes and dystopian urban decay, on an adventure that doesn't know how to back down from a challenge. read more
