Enter a world where the cost of magic is life itself and two races are locked in an ages-long conflict built on the lies of the gods.
Vilhelm is a dragoon dedicated to the destruction of the serpents in the east. Battle is all he has ever known. But when he’s sent on a secret mission across the sea, with enemies on all sides, he faces startling revelations that make him question everything.
The serpents have a prophecy about a Chosen One who will deliver them from a Calamity that has yet to strike, and Loyyul seems to fit the criteria. But he doesn't care about prophecy or heroism, he just wants his father to be proud of him. When he comes face-to-face with his race’s two oldest enemies, he's forced to make an impossible choice that could change everything.
Forced into an uneasy alliance, Man and serpent are forced to reassess their positions on everything they've always been taught.
When The Calamity strikes, in the form of a massive creature unknown in the world, can mortal enemies overcome their inborn hatred and join together to save their peoples?
Rise of the Overlord is a past-paced epic fantasy guaranteed to keep you up reading late into the night! If you enjoyed the constant adventure of Dragonlance, the complex and fully realized world of the Magister trilogy, or the wonderful characters of the Inheritance Cycle, then you’ll love Kevin Potter’s page-turning sword & sorcery adventure.
