Mother of Ruin (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798996528806)

Maya Grafton dreams of helping people-of how she will use her healing thaumaturgies to become a great hero, just like those in her cherished dime novels. Yet, as the young white mage-in-training stumbles upon a dark arcane secret, every foundation of her life will be shaken: her faith, her family, and even what she believed herself to be. Unbeknownst to her, the end of the age was at hand; all it would take is a single drop of blood.

Hunted for the corrupting power growing within her, Maya must unravel the truth behind a paranatural weapon and a conspiracy five centuries in the making-one that binds her fate to The Holy Mother of Consummate Salvation herself.

Lest she succumb to the unholy whispers guiding her steps, she must tread the path of a heretic, and withstand the indomitable wrath of The Mother-or learn there are fates far worse than death.

A dark fantasy adventure set in aTeslapunk-flavored 1912, Mother of Ruin blends found-family stakes, morally complex faith, and light LitRPG-inspired progression mechanics into Book One of a planned trilogy.
