A healer forced to become a killer... Years ago, Aspectors walked the land, performing miracles both awesome and terrifying. They used their magic connection to the Aspect to serve the people of their country, healing the sick, and protecting their borders. All of that changed when the Vin Irudur Empire attacked. Now as soon as Aspectors are discovered, they are ripped away from their families and sent to academies run by the empire to be trained as the Vin Irudur see fit. To Kehlem, Aspectors are a distant legend, of little importance to the town of Barrowheld where he works with his father as a physician. But when an enforcer of the Empire is sent to town in search of a rogue Aspector, Kehlem finds himself at the very centre of the empire's attention. Kehlem must prove himself useful to the empire, or risk being cast aside. To do so though would turn himself into a weapon so sharp, it would cut any that tried to hold him. If you enjoyed The Poppy War, The Name of The Wind, Nevernight or The Shadow of What Was Lost, You'll love The Soul's Aspect!

The Soul's Aspect

Kehlem the Butcher. Hero. Villain. A pale ghost that haunts the empire, or righteous revenant of Casere. Titles thrust upon him that he had no desire to bear, charged by the Aspect itself to end the Vin Empire. And yet his true and only desire is to get to Mercy before the empire does, to salvage his only chance at redemption. But change is coming. He can feel it in the crushing weight of his waking nightmares. See it in the uprisings in the empire. Hear it in the hushed rumours of Seer assassinations. The Aspect demands retribution. Balance. Where there was Order, may there be Chaos. Long Live Chaos.

The Soul's Instruments

Chaos is burning through the world. An unnatural mist rises each and every night, and lurking within the vapours, the dead are being reborn into monstrosities. At the centre of everything, Kehlem stands ready to protect those he holds closest, but with the Aspect changed forever, what hope is there for those who would rely on its power? The Risen will come forth and taste of the flesh of Chaos. Long Live Chaos. Long Live the Dead. Chaos Risen is the thrilling finale to volume I of the Aspect series.
