The Path to Above [ONC 2019] side story

*SHADOWHUNTERS MEETS ACOTAR*

Featured novel in TheFaeFolk's Wisdom from the Masters.

Eraphim Volcron died four thousand years ago to save the life of his apprentice's mate.

He has wandered in the shadows for four millennium, and with each day grows more sure that he made a mistake of agreeing to his inexperienced protégé's plan.

But there is a way to return to the Land of the Living, one who's minds that have not turned insane have avoided at all costs. Because to fail in that contest means to be erased from all Four Realms entirely, as if you never existed. But to win would mean the God of Death would return the winner to life.

When he receives word from a recently deceased soldier bearing news of events that he should have been there for, he has no choice but to participate in them.

Brutal betrayals, literal world-shattering secrets, allies with hidden agendas, and monsters wearing beautiful masks who speak sweet promises are all around him as he competes for the ultimate prize of a second life.

Death is never the end...For those brave enough.

This story takes place one thousand years before "The Ancients" series and do not affect the events of the first book.
