The Narrow Path

Elias Cross has lost everything. Alone in the wreckage of his life, he hears a voice that shouldn't exist — and it knows his name.

Elias wakes with something burned into his skin — and a world he can no longer unsee. The war is real. And it has already found him.

Running from something that doesn't obey the laws of physics, Elias learns the first rule of the Narrow Path: power is not taken. It is given.

The road to safety is not safe. Elias discovers that the war he can now see has been looking for him — and something else is looking too.

To move beyond Awakening, Elias must give up the one thing he's been holding onto — and it's not the bottle.

The scar in the Hold speaks. And what it says is worse than anything the Principalities could offer — because it's almost true.

Kael doesn't attack the Hold. He does something worse — he offers Elias exactly what he wants most. And he uses the voice of a dead man to do it.

The fire doesn't burn away weakness. It burns away the story you've been telling yourself about who you are.

Elias discovers that the most dangerous enemy on the Path is not the one outside the walls. It's the one who rebuilds them.

A Dominion-class entity descends on the Hold. What it demands of Elias is not strength. It is the one thing he has left.
