Set in a world where demons and gods walk the earth, A Pilgrimage of Swords is a dark and exciting fantasy adventure.

It is 200 years since the deity known as the Absolved went mad and destroyed the Kingdom of Alnachim, transforming it into the Execration, a blasted wasteland filled with nameless terrors. For decades, desperate souls have made pilgrimage to the centre of this cursed land to seek the Mad God’s favour, their fate always unknown.

#1 A Pilgrimage of Swords
Now a veteran warrior known only as Pilgrim, armed with a fabled blade inhabited by the soul of a taunting demon, must join with six others to make the last journey to the heart of the Execration. Allied with a youthful priest, a beast-charmer, a duplicitous scholar, an effete actor, and two exiled lovers, Pilgrim must survive madness, malevolent spirits, unnatural monsters, and the ever-present risk of treachery, all so that the Mad God might hear his prayer and, perhaps, grant redemption. But can sins such as his ever be forgiven? (3 hours and 20 minutes)

#2 The Kraken’s Tooth
Guided by sorcery, Guyime journeys to Carthula in the centre of the First Sea to claim the mythical blade known as the Kraken’s Tooth. Aided by three companions Guyime ventures into Carthula’s perilous underbelly to secure a prize guarded by ancient magics, cursed spirits, and lethal traps. (3 hours and 33 minutes)

#3 City of Songs
Atheria - the fabled City of Songs. The shining jewel of the third sea where the masked Exultia caste hold sway and vie to outdo each other in their patronage of the arts, sometimes with deadly consequences…. (4 hours and 21 minutes)

#4 To Blackfyre Keep
Guyime and his companions journey to the haunted ruin of Blackfyre Keep, a castle legend tells cannot be held. But a far deadlier threat than mere ghosts awaits. An ancient evil has been conjured, and to defeat it, Guyime may be forced to become the monster he used to be. (3 hours and 52 minutes)

#5 Across the Sorrow Sea
The sorrow sea—the most feared region in all the five seas—plagued by storms, prowled by a murderous pirate king, and home to inhuman terrors. (3 hours and 8 minutes)

#6 The Road of Storms
The ancient kingdom of Alcedon, the sun-blessed realm that has known only peace for generations, now beset by bloody rebellion sparked by the emergence of an ancient evil. (3 hours and 57 minutes)
