Deathless King Carpenter, Thomas K
Carpenter, Thomas KStock reported in the catalog; fulfillment is confirmed with your request.
In a city of magic, a relentless demon hunts, leaving only unanswered questions.
Within the bustling, spell-laden avenues of the City of Sorcery, an ancient terror known as the Caoránarch awakens. This formidable, draconic entity embarks on a brutal rampage, its victims chosen seemingly at random, vanishing as mysteriously as it appears. Young Remi, alongside her circle of magically-inclined companions, senses a deeper, more sinister purpose behind these chaotic attacks. They are convinced the Caoránarch's sudden manifestation is not mere coincidence but rather a dark omen tied to a hidden truth, compelling them to unravel the creature's connection to their city's arcane history before it consumes everything.
This narrative firmly inhabits the urban fantasy tradition, blending contemporary cityscapes with deep-seated arcane history and mythical entities. It draws upon the trope of hidden magical societies operating within modern metropolitan environments, a staple of late 20th and early 21st-century esoteric fiction.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
While the premise of an ancient draconic terror threatening a modern magical city offers genuine suspense, this book may not suit readers seeking complex character development or nuanced political intrigue. Those expecting detailed exposition on the mechanics of magic or deep philosophical debates might find the plot-driven focus lacking in intellectual depth. Furthermore, audiences who prefer standalone mysteries with clear resolutions may feel frustrated by the emphasis on unanswered questions and lingering dread. It is best approached as a atmospheric thriller rather than a definitive guide to arcane lore.
