Roldin was just a child - a shy daydreamer who always had his nose in a book - when his father sold his soul split seven ways to seven demons for nothing more than a chest of coin. The boy lived to run another day, and for over thirty years he’s fought both against the creatures who pursue him and the troubles barely hidden in what’s left of his soul. In what he supposed to be merely another fight in another town on his long lonely road to nowhere, Roldin made a discovery about his own past that could change everything. After a lifetime of being chased he has a choice to make that could give him his life back - or give him a new reason to stand defiant against his pursuers. A story of friendship, sacrifice, and hope in the spirit of the adventure serials of old; join the rain-soaked world of Roldin Benirus in his first tale as he goes into battle for more than just his own soul. Ransom Prestridge was raised in the southern United States and currently lives in the northeast. He has been drawn to fantasy worlds, books, stories, and games since before he knew what all that meant, but he took an odd path towards writing his own. After receiving an education in music composition and spending years working in higher education, Ransom decided he wanted another creative outlet and has been writing for himself for almost fifteen years. This is his first published novel but far from his first world-expect more to come.
