Path Of The Bound : Book 1 The Wrath Of The Old Gods

by Michael Rasar

Ren Calder is a thief. Not a hero, not a chosen one—just clever enough to survive and quiet enough to go unnoticed. Until the night he unearths a forgotten sword in a tomb that was never meant to be opened. The blade is ancient, cursed, and alive in ways Ren can’t explain. It whispers in dreams. It moves on its own. And when drawn, it does not kill—it erases.

Now bound to a relic forged to slay gods, Ren is hunted by ash-cloaked cultists, war-born remnants, and something far older that stirs beneath the earth. As he flees through haunted forests, shattered towns, and war-torn ruins, the sword begins to change him—rewriting the man he was into something unrecognizable. Something the old powers fear.

But Ren never asked for destiny. He doesn’t want to be anyone’s savior. He just wants to live long enough to figure out what the sword wants—and how to stop it from taking everything.

As the weight of forgotten wars and buried truths closes in, Ren must decide whether to run from what he’s becoming… or embrace it.

Because the gods are not dead.
They’re just waiting to be awakened.

And Veilcleaver remembers them all.
