"He knew he hadn't made a deal with the Devil, but it was moments like these that made him wish he had. Who could've known there was something worse?"
Siro gambled his way from a dying universe into a new one. As a similar fate looms on the horizon of Shine Amysgal, he follows in the footsteps of a mad sorcerer to steal his long-lost wife back from the black dimension that ate Earth. His journey leads him down a rabbit hole that ensnares him in an ancient game between dueling Lensers, and as the space wizards battle across time and realm, he and a broken company of outlaw ruin-runners find themselves fighting to gain control of a reality engine that could rewrite everything. There is nothing Siro won't do, nothing he won't sacrifice to steal his wife back from the Gloom. His life and soul are already forfeit. If reality has to burn as well, then he'll bring it down with him and rise Sherai a new one from the ashes.
Shadow of the Mad Reaper is the first novel in the Definitive Host trilogy. It follows Siro's journey, an explosive opening act to Will of the Weavers, an epic-scale science fiction horror series steeped in occultism with psychedelic dashes of fantasy.
