Path of the Deathless: Book 2

Shiv grows with every death. It was supposed to be an advantage. The System calls it 'working as intended'. Once an Omenborn street rat, Shiv clawed his way into becoming a feared Pathbearer, one who gains power every time he dies. But when he’s hauled off to Gate Theborn, a brutal fortress where lives are bought and sold across worlds, even resurrection may not be enough to keep him alive. Separated from his friends and hunted as a fugitive, Shiv is trapped in a realm ruled by the soldiers of a heartless Demon God. As he tears the truth from those in his way, he uncovers a divine conspiracy threatening to dismantle the Yellowstone Republic. Surrounded by demons, soulless bureaucrats, and mind-devouring horrors, survival will take more than brute force… because he isn’t the only one who comes back. His brutal encounter with an endlessly-resurrecting orc has bound them together; forming a bond that calls out across realms and guides his new-found eternal rival back with a promise of a fight that can never truly end. But if death is the battlefield, Shiv is certain he'll be the last one standing.
