Krox Rises: Magitech Chronicles Book 5 Released on Amazon!
Book 5 in the Magitech Chronicles has been released on Amazon! The adventures of Voria, Aran, Nara, and Crewes continue as they fight to protect their people against Nebiat and Krox in Krox Rises!
The Godswar Has Come Again
Nebiat has seized godhood, and now controls Krox, the most powerful elder god in the sector. Both Ternus and Shaya know she is coming, but their preparations cannot save them. She launches a strike at Ternus that cripples their home world, and shatters their fleets.
Voria desperately struggles to find a way to raise Shaya, or to rise as a goddess herself. She will do anything to oppose Nebiat, but fears it will not be enough.
Aran must confront the awful truth about the Skull of Xal, and make a deal with demons in order to gain the strength they so desperately need to overcome Krox.
And Nara must face the most awful choice of all. Will she murder the woman she most respects, or let the sector burn?
Possibilities narrow. Krox Rises. Shaya will fall.
