The Sovereign of Bones: A novel

HE WAS BORN FORGOTTEN.The dead refused to let him stay that way.Dhaenus Ramus is fourteen years old, penniless, hunted, and destined for a grave no one will remember. In the slums of Vethros, people like him are born invisible, live invisible, and die invisible.Then the dead begin to speak.When a ruthless purge forces him to flee into the wilds, Dhaenus discovers an ancient crypt hidden beneath the hills-a tomb sealed for centuries and buried by history itself. Inside waits a forgotten order, a mysterious black ring, and a power the world has spent generations trying to erase.A power that binds the living and the dead.As forbidden knowledge awakens within him, Dhaenus learns a terrifying truth: every corpse carries memories, every death leaves something behind, and the dead are willing to lend their strength to those who remember them.But power always demands a price.Each servant he raises steals warmth from his living body.Each bond burdens him with the weight of another soul.And every step deeper into the lost art of Gravebinding brings him closer to the attention of the Church that burned his predecessors from history.Now hunted by kings, feared by priests, and accompanied by the restless dead, Dhaenus must master an ability the world calls monstrous before his enemies destroy him.Because some legacies refuse to stay buried.And some dead remember everything.Perfect for readers who enjoy dark fantasy, rich worldbuilding, ancient mysteries, forbidden magic, loyal undead companions, and the rise of an underdog who refuses to be forgotten.THE SOVEREIGN OF BONES is the gripping first installment in an epic dark fantasy saga of remembrance, sacrifice, and power.
