Black Stone Heart

Khraen wakes alone and hollow, his memory gone and his obsidian heart shattered into shards scattered across the world. With each fragment he recovers, a piece of the man he was returns — and that man was a Dark Lord who summoned demons and sacrificed thousands for power. As New Khraen walks the obsidian path to hunt down the wizards who unmade him, every shard he reclaims drags him closer to the monster he swears he won't become again. The first step on the Obsidian Path, opening Michael R. Fletcher's grimdark trilogy.
