The Scattered Seed

He was cast out by the Gods. Stripped of his power. Forbidden to interfere. But Lucifer has never been good at following rules. Exiled to Pluto - the Plane of Penalty - after the War of Fire, the Immortal Lucifer watches from the shadows as the Nine Planes teeter toward annihilation. A ruthless queen commands an army of silver-wielding witches. Kingdoms of men crumble. The smaller races hide and pray. And the Gods? Silent. As always. Queen Devina of the Argenti does not want peace. She wants dominion. With magic forged from precious metals and an iron will to match, she is systematically destroying every free nation that stands in her path. Emperor Ulrik of Mars commands the last stronghold of men - but his armies are outnumbered and his wizards outmatched. His only hope is a grand wizard the world believes to be dead. It may not be enough. Lucifer knows this. Which is why, across forbidden years and stolen nights, he has been quietly planting something far more dangerous than an army. His own blood. Scattered. Hidden. Hunted. If Devina finds his children before they find their power, the Nine Planes are lost. Perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie, Brandon Sanderson, and dark mythic fantasy with morally complex immortals, political intrigue, and epic world-building.
