How desperate are you when a monster's morality is your only hope?

​

Evanar Hostric, part-Guardian, part-Priest, is a broken mage with a dark secret.

​

Traveling to answer a mysterious offer from the Emperor, he finds himself the enemy of one of the most powerful nobles in the land.

After discovering the Archduke’s secret—that he is selling children to his wealthy friends to fund a rebellion—that suits Evan just fine.

​

In a race to save those that society ignored, he is beleaguered at every step and finds himself more and more willing to do horrible things in the name of good.

 

Evanar Hostric is The Emperor’s Conscience, but does that leave room for his own?
