Rend

Tales from The Afflicted Saga, Book 1

By: Katika Schneider

Narrated by: Henry Kramer

The best weapons come with a story. This one came with a life.

Created to serve as the harbinger of death for a world ignorant to mortality, Rend had obediently culled the aged and ailing for his goddess. For 238 cycles, he questioned neither his duty nor actions. But after the thousands of deaths he'd facilitated, he was tired.

Then, a bright-eyed child introduced him to what it meant to dream. To be happy. To live. And Rend discovered that even a divine construct was capable of doubt.

Rend had been appointed the harbinger of death to protect the mortals from fear and suffering. But who was there to protect him?
