A VIRAL IMPERIUM

 

Book One of the Plagueborn Series

 

A plague‑born magic is awakening inside Threadfin Todder — hungry, volatile, and impossible to control.

Exiled, undead, and hunted by a relentless shapeshifter, he races across the imperium to save his sister as a horde of armoured giants marches toward the capital. When the power inside him erupts, Threadfin becomes the only force capable of stopping a terror that turns cities to ash and stone to dust.

At the heart of the empire, Princess Aiyana Todralan faces a usurper possessed by a fallen angel. With the throne stolen and her people trapped beneath a rising tide of monsters, Aiyana uncovers a truth older than the empire — one that could threaten existence itself.

Two lives. One corrupted empire. A darkness older than the world. A Viral Imperium is a dark epic fantasy of ancient magic, monstrous legions, and a world on the edge of annihilation.

Magic in this world was never meant to be pure. Viral or spectral, every power carries the echo of an ancient catastrophe — and the Plagueborn feel that echo most of all.
