The Scimitar - Hardcover

by Luke Everhart (Author)

The Climb is over. The journey has only just begun.

Nar has done what no one believed possible. He endured the Crystal's trials, survived the devouring madness of the cannibals, and stood bare before the party who fought beside him - secrets and all. At the precipice of failure, when everything hung by a thread, he reached inside himself, embraced his aura, and claimed what he had earned: a hybrid class of rare and terrible power.

They descended forgiven. They descended free.

But freedom has a price. Rel is dying. And the world waiting beyond the Climb is nothing like the paradise they were promised.

The Outside-Nexus is not salvation - it is vastness. A living, breathing Creation of wonder and menace, where the light is real, the colors bleed truth, and the dangers defy comprehension. Nar has traded one impossible world for something far greater, and far more unforgiving.

To rescue his father. To secure the future of those who stood beside him. To survive what comes next.

He will need to climb higher than he ever dared imagine - and pay a cost that no class, no aura, and no victory has prepared him for.

But before any of that?

He must find himself a teacher.
