Master of the Dead

By: Nickel Crow

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Cole Mannering never asked for this. At sixteen, he’s discovered a horrifying affliction—he can speak with the dead. But this strange, growing power becomes the least of his worries when his village is savagely destroyed, his parents murdered, and his world turned to ash.

Forced to join the armies of Genna, sworn enemies of Helfland, Cole is thrust into a life of war he despises. He was never meant to be a soldier, and killing is against his nature. But when the mysterious wizard Forir learns of Cole’s connection to the dead, he’s sent on a mission unlike any other: to descend into the Underworld and retrieve the Blood Scabbard, a legendary weapon that grants its wielder control over fire.

The deeper Cole ventures, the more he uncovers about his abilities—and himself. His power doesn’t end with speaking to the dead; he can command them. But as two vengeful gods clash, Cole is caught in their deadly game, and the cost of survival grows higher by the day.

To face the rising dangers, Cole must embrace the terrifying truth: he is becoming the Master of the Dead—a wizard to be feared.

Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, epic battles, and coming-of-age tales, Master of the Dead is a gripping adventure you won’t forget.
