Alex
The Guardian
Returned to life without his consent, Alex carries grief, anger, and little faith in the gods he once served. He wants their promise that his next death will be his last. Getting it means facing them again.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Death was supposed to be the end.
Two centuries after his death, Alex returns to a world he no longer knows—and a life he never asked to reclaim.
Once a Guardian of the gods, he remembers what serving them cost him: his wife, his son, and his faith. Now he wants only one thing from them. An oath that when he dies again, they will leave him dead.
But finding the gods means navigating a changed world. Cassie, a blind healer, may offer him a way forward. Their encounter draws him into a search that reaches beyond his resurrection and back toward the losses he thought he understood.
As old certainties unravel, Alex must confront how much control the gods still hold over his life—and what he is willing to do to take it back.
