Aegis of the Chosen

Haunted by a past you can't outrun?

Feridun knows what it's like to carry a burden too heavy for any one man. Haunted by a tragedy he unleashed, he's spent years hiding his power, drowning his guilt in the bottom of a bottle. But when a desperate plea reaches him from a forgotten friend, Feridun is thrust back into a world of magic, monsters, and a destiny he thought he'd escaped.

Tasked with protecting a young man named Boren, the last heir to a fallen house, Feridun finds himself hunted by a corrupted king and his demonic army. With ancient evils rising and the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance, Feridun must confront not only his past but also the terrifying truth: Boren's mysterious dreams are more than just dreams—they're glimpses of a war that could end everything.

What price would you pay to become the hero your world needs?

Together, they must journey to a forgotten island where a portal between worlds threatens to unleash an apocalypse. Beset by shadow creatures and relentless enemies, Feridun and Boren must learn to trust each other if they have any hope of surviving.

Aegis of the Chosen is a gripping dark epic fantasy novella in the tradition of Joe Abercrombie and Steven Erikson, filled with complex magic systems, morally gray characters, and found family bonds forged in fire. Perfect for readers who love their fantasy with high stakes, haunted heroes, and hard choices that echo beyond the material world.

When destiny and free will collide, sometimes the most dangerous choice is refusing to choose at all.
