Knight's Last Stand

In a world where gods walk among mortals and divine tyranny crushes the innocent, one knight's investigation into ritual murders uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to consume an entire city. Commander Victus Andreas discovers that the seemingly random cult killings in Lindly are part of a far darker plan-the dark elven goddess Lestar seeks to harvest the souls of every citizen to feed her master's insatiable hunger for power.When Victus returns from his annual pilgrimage to find his city overrun by disguised dark elves posing as holy inquisitors, he must rally a small band of loyal soldiers, his adopted son Aris, and unlikely allies to stand against overwhelming odds. As ancient magic tears through the city and divine politics threaten to destroy everything he's sworn to protect, Victus faces an impossible choice: save his people or preserve his own soul.With breathtaking battles, complex characters wrestling with duty and honor, and a magic system that explores the cost of power, Battle of Lindly launches an epic fantasy series that challenges the very nature of divine authority. In Bear Pardun's richly imagined world, heroes are forged not by destiny, but by the courage to defy gods themselves.If you enjoyed The Way of Kings, The Blade Itself, and The Shadow of What Was Lost, you'll love Battle of Lindly.
