Nemesis Spawned (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781038319814)

Alexander Cadeyrn is no hero . . . but he is destined for greatness.

His ruthless father, Saelen-one of five immortal avatars and Lloryca's creator-has ambitious plans for his son. He knows that Alexander is fated to touch a rare metaphysical phenomenon called a schism and inherit its deific power and he wants to use his son's power to subjugate the entire universe. Unbeknownst to Saelen, however, the other avatars have already set efforts in motion to sabotage his nefarious plans.

As Alexander awaits the moment when he must claim the power he's been promised, he is thrust into a Lloryca scarred by centuries of war. He seeks to unite the clans and become their king but he knows that he must overcome his own sociopathic tendencies to do so. He clings to the moral teachings of his beloved surrogate father, Owen, but cannot resist the siren call of violence in the guise of ambition and vengeance. Saelen, for his part, only encourages Alexander's sadistic nature, knowing that it will only aid his ascension.

Will Alexander curb the malevolence in his soul that undermines his hopes to become a hero? Will he overcome the machinations of those who would make him their puppet? Will he restore balance to a world soaked in blood and shattered by reckless ambition . . . or merely tip the scales even further?

Nemesis Spawned, the first book in the Reflections of Shadow trilogy, is an epic fantasy tale that weaves a multi-dimensional exploration of sociopathy into elements of classic myth, visceral horror, and cosmic/elemental power.
