Nobody cheats death… until someone steals a soul from the afterlife itself.
Salim Ghadafar is no hero—he’s an ex-soldier and atheist bound to the lady of graves, Pharasma, who sends him chasing after missing souls. When a wealthy merchant is murdered in Thuvia and his resurrection fails, the culprit may be trafficking souls—and Salim is running out of time.
Teaming up with the victim’s determined daughter, he plunges from desert sands into the realms beyond life, facing devils, angels, fae—and dark conspiracies that threaten the balance between living and dead.
Why you’ll love it: A sharp fantasy mystery with layered characters, philosophical depth, and an adventure that literally spans life and death.
📖 Condition: Gently used trade paperback. Clean interior, light cover wear, spine slightly creased—battle-tested and ready for your shelf.
If you devoured: Death’s Heretic’s sequel The Redemption Engine, Brandon Sanderson’s Warbreaker, or fantasy mysteries that dig into faith and fate—you’re in the right place.
