Catholicism is discussed. All disturbing scenes are usually forewarned, that is it's clear what is going to happen. Some brief peril. Some light disturbing humor relating to murder. PG-13 quality stuff, be aware of your mental state and seek support as needed.Complete
Deicide: Death's Chosen Assassin
Kael Drayven grew up in the shadows of an orphanage that was anything but ordinary. Trained from a young age to kill with precision and intellect, he became the ultimate weapon-cold, calculating, and deadly. But Kael wasn't content to be a pawn in someone else's game. At just 18, he masterminded the destruction of the very place that shaped him, erasing his past in a blaze of fire and blood. For two years, he roamed free, a ghost in the underworld, his body riddled with scars and his mind sharper than ever. But even the smartest and deadliest aren't invincible. At 20, Kael succumbed to the wounds and exhaustion of a life lived on the edge. Death wasn't the end for him, though. In his final moments, Kael is confronted by a vengeful god who offers him a new purpose: become his chosen assassin and take down the twelve gods who betrayed him. In a new world brimming with magic and divine power, Kael's sharp mind and lethal skills make him the perfect weapon. But can a man who has only known betrayal and bloodshed find meaning in a god's quest for revenge? Or will he simply become another expendable piece in a cosmic game far bigger than himself?
