Grymdark Stories

Dorian was just another soul scraping by in a city where the Church and the State carve up the scraps of reality. But when the Fractures tear open and nightmare creatures flood the streets, he discovers he's been carrying a debt he has no memory of incurring. Zeus has chosen his champion. And the gods do not wait. Now Dorian wields the Essence-a power he never asked for, can barely control, and that carries a devastating price. In a divine game where the rules shift on a whim, refusing to play means only one thing: the death of everyone he loves. As the God-marked awaken across the globe-some eager to serve, others desperate to escape-Dorian faces the only question that matters: Will he be a god's pawn, or the architect of his own damnation?
