Kagen the Damned

In Kagen the Damned, the first book of a dark epic fantasy series by bestselling author Jonathan Maberry, we follow Kagen Vale, the feared captain of the palace guard, who faces a devastating betrayal when the royal family he protects is murdered. Stripped of divine favor and left to wander a shattered empire, Kagen seeks revenge against the deadly Witch-king of Hakkia, battling terrifying creatures and forming unlikely alliances on a perilous quest. As the long-banished magic reemerges, Kagen's journey is fueled by rage and a determination to reclaim both his honor and a sense of justice in a world turned upside down.
