A dark, action-packed portal fantasy where a shape-shifting trickster must pick himself up from betrayal and keep fighting—because that's what heroes do.

He found the one relic that could save his friend. Then it was stolen. Along with any hope he had left.

Ren B'gatti thought he'd won. He'd found the three mystical lodestones that could restore Claymore from the madness consuming him—the one relic in all the Mythic Cosmos that could bring his friend back. But victory doesn't last.

After a soul-crushing betrayal, Ren is left for dead on an ancient world. The relic is gone. Hope is gone.

But it takes more than a few bullets to stop a shape-shifting trickster.

Now Ren must drag himself up and keep moving—with or without hope. Because that's what heroes do. In a universe where every myth, legend, and imaginative story is real, he risks everything on the belief that there's still a chance.

But others hunt the relic too. Close at his heels is Rogue Destiny's greatest criminal warlord and the grotesque personification of Death he keeps as a pet. With nowhere left to turn, Ren recruits his fellow Raconteurs—the self-proclaimed guardians of the Mythic Cosmos—for one final confrontation with Mordecai Davos and the monster known as the Grimm Jester.

Dark, emotionally charged, and relentlessly paced—Requiem for a Hero is portal fantasy for readers who crave sacrifice, loyalty, and redemption wrapped in mayhem and monsters. A must-read for fans of Discworld, Time Bandits, Cowboy Bebop, and Netflix's Arcane.

Requiem for a Hero is epic fantasy at its most relentless—where betrayal cuts deep, every myth in existence is real, and heroes keep moving even when hope is gone. Perfect for readers who crave action-packed portal fantasy with heart, cosmic-scale stakes, and the kind of loyalty that refuses to break no matter how brutal the odds.
