About

The Golden Age of Calleder has never been more powerful. The Dark Syndicate controls an empire built on centuries of shadow, demonic pacts, and the patient accumulation of absolute power across five continents. No one questions it. No one survives questioning it. Beneath the world, in a dimension older than civilization itself, something ancient and hungry has been waiting for a bloodline it was promised. Then an unmarked ship arrives in Solara's harbor. The man who steps off it has eyes that won't hold a color and knows things he has no right to know. He knows the Syndicate's deepest secret — one older than the organization itself. One that was never supposed to surface. A ruthless Pharaoh's Hand who has survived eleven years through cold intelligence finds herself walking toward a garden she has no strategic reason to visit. A nineteen-year-old pickpocket lifts a coin that won't let her go and discovers she has been chosen to witness something the powerful will spend everything trying to keep buried. A careful councilor notices things no one else notices and must decide, after thirty-five years of watching without acting, whether he is capable of something more than observation. And two children, not yet born, whose names are already written in a prophecy older than any of them. The Lust of War is Book One of the Arcane Dominion: The Dark Syndicate series — a dark adult fantasy epic of ancient power, impossible choices, and a world that has already died once and is quietly beginning its second collapse. For adult readers. Contains explicit content, violence, and mature themes.
