Death's Prison: Book 1 of The Chronicles of Athed

Years ago, the government captured Death and all his assistants, unlocking the secret to immortality. Now, the world suffers under the weight of eternal life: the rich live forever, the poor starve in overcrowded cities, and the balance of life and death has been shattered. Athed wasn’t supposed to exist. Crafted by Death himself before his capture, she was forged to walk in shadows. Imprisoned for a century, she is finally free, and she’s ready to burn the world that took everything from her. But she can’t do it alone. Alexamin, a disgraced revolutionary, has one last shot at redemption. Helsey, a grieving ex-guard, wants justice for the man Athed killed. Erim, the noble-born spellcaster, has no idea what she’s being groomed for. And Jonar, the chemist in recovery, just wants to keep them all alive. To break into a government warehouse for resources, they’ll have to become more than a crew. They’ll have to become monsters, martyrs — or something worse. As their world suffocates under its own immortal weight, the heist becomes more than a mission, it’s their last chance. They’re not heroes. They’re the last bad idea left. View Less
