Chronicles of Kamilia: Drake's Reckoning

Details

For nine brutal years, young Drake survived the cold cruelty of Kamilia as an unloved orphan, enduring starvation and violence that forged his calculating, defensive nature. But when his ninth birthday arrives, the sky tears open. Eldritch monsters pour into the ancient, crumbling empire, turning his wretched home into a blood-soaked warzone. In the ashes, Drake awakens a volatile, ancient blood-magic power. Yet, this is no grand ascension; his new strength is unstable, and the monsters are relentless. He is repeatedly battered, broken, and knocked down by foes far more experienced than he. To survive, Drake must use his ruthless intellect to analyze his defeats, treating every bone-shattering failure as a lesson. As the empire falls to ruin around him, Drake must master his dark magic and rally the very humanity that once abandoned him, or be swallowed by the creeping shadows that seek to erase Kamilia from existence.
