Where Shadows Linger and Legends Ignite

His thief crew lies in ruins, and his only friend has been murdered.

Tasked by his killer to steal a sacred relic, Calder is betrayed, framed for corruption, and sentenced to die.

A desperate bond with a devout zealot gives him one last chance: recover the relic, unravel the city’s dark underbelly, and survive a looming invasion.

As enemies close in from all sides and corruption threatens to consume the city, Calder must navigate a world of betrayal, addictive power, and impossible choices.

But this is no tale of noble heroes—only fractured souls fighting for survival and redemption in the face of annihilation.

In The Shards of What Remains, loyalty is fragile, power costs your very soul, and hope flickers like a dying ember.

For fans of Sanderson and Abercrombie, this is a grimdark epic of revenge, survival, and what it takes to confront the shadows within.
