Hatred, fear, and subjugation are the laws of the land—but laws can be broken—in the thrilling second installment of this reincarnation fantasy.
The forces of light and darkness have been locked in war for millenia, all in the name of the fierce god Kaedmon. And Ethan Graham, an average gamer turned all-powerful demon hat (yes, hat), is caught right in the middle of it.
Leading a misfit band of hybrid warriors with his formidable possession skills, Ethan’s on a quest across the hellish terrain of Argwyll to find the long-lost prophetess Jun’Ei, who holds the secret to seizing Kaedmon’s power. Unfortunately, Ethan has caught the attention of someone far more wicked than the baleful god.
The sadistic Doctor Haylock is a blood mage whose genetic experiments are the stuff of nightmares—and his ultimate specimen has come knocking. But beyond the doctor’s beastly creations, buried far beneath his fortress, is something that’ll change the course of Ethan’s already precarious journey . . .
The second volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series―with more than 800,000 views on Royal Road―now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!
Tropes include: free will versus fate, everyman hero, and weak to strong.
J. S. Boyd is the author of epic fantasy adventures including the Reborn as a Demon Hat series, originally released on Royal Road. Filled with magic, peril, and wonder, his tales draw inspiration from his travels in Europe and Asia as well as his passion for tabletop gaming: he believes the best stories are forged through crowded tables, shared laughter, and the roll of the dice. In addition to writing, Boyd works as an international high school English teacher and resides in Scotland.
