Description
'A fast-paced, page-turning ride. Hugely entertaining' John Gwynne
'A dark and lush epic fantasy brimming with magical creatures and terrifying evil . . . Readers of George R. R. Martin and Patrick Rothfuss will find much to enjoy here' Booklist
The magic has returned . . . and so have the monsters.
Devin Eveson is a Soulkeeper, traveling through remote villages as a priest and healer. But when a mysterious black water washes over the world, the veil is torn, flooding the land with ancient magic and forgotten races. And not all the creatures that have reawakened remember humanity fondly.
As the land grows increasingly dangerous and chaotic, Soulkeepers are turning up dead. Devin must set aside his words of peace and accept his new role: slayer of monsters and protector of the human race.
Soulkeeper is the start of a thrilling new fantasy series from USA Today bestseller David Dalglish - think The Witcher meets Dungeons and Dragons.
