The Mountain of Souls: An Epic Dark Fantasy Series (The Chosen Book 1)

They raised her as an assassin … she became something beyond imagining. Within the depths of the Mountain of Souls, an ancient sect raises orphans to become remorseless assassins. Abandoned by an empire ravaged by war, hundreds die during selection, leaving a determined, bloodied few, honed by training and enchantment, to emerge as The Chosen - an elite cohort tasked with delivering an ancient prophecy. Malina is one of those orphans. Cursed with yellow eyes and deathly pale skin, she is neither popular nor strong and appears certain to die on her first day, twisted and broken like so many before her. Fate, however, has other, far more sinister plans for Malina than a quick death. As the forces of darkness rise and the prophesied return of the Once and Future King draws near, Malina will be expected to sacrifice her very soul to ensure both her survival and his ascension. But is it a price she is willing to pay? Buy Now, and you'll discover more than just Malina's tale … but the revelation of an astonishing plan spanning millennia, in which myths of the past influence the present to determine the future. Perfect for fans of Mark Lawrence, Joe Abercrombie, and Robin Hobb, this is epic fantasy at its most brutal and beautiful. View Less
