Contempt of the Gods (en Inglés) - James A Eggebeen

In a world shadowed by ancient omens and celestial whispers of doom, Contempt of the Gods ignites an explosive epic fantasy saga blending breathtaking grandeur with unrelenting horror. When the exiled deity Kodan stirs from its eternal void imprisonment after eons of dreamless exile, its insidious corrupted soldiers-once loyal warriors twisted into monstrous Karak by dark tendrils of power-begin their relentless descent every thousand years, unleashing chaos upon a fragile land teeming with life. These harbingers pave the path for the Kodan's triumphant return, corrupting souls and shattering civilizations in their wake.

From the frozen heights of sacred desert henges where keen-eyed stargazers peer into the abyss, to the labyrinthine depths of crater cities carved by ancient cataclysms, a diverse band of reluctant heroes emerges to challenge this apocalyptic fate. Stargazer Tad Da'til uncovers the first ominous streak across the winter solstice sky, embarking on a perilous quest to rally elemental forces and safeguard the realm's fragile balance. Heir Vashtu, burdened by her royal lineage and mastery of volatile air magic, survives a savage Karak assault on her towering home, fleeing through blood-soaked streets toward an uncertain destiny. Healer Alana, haunted by personal tragedy, awakens dormant water magic drawn from malevolent fallen crystals, weaving shields of liquid fury to defend her burning village against the encroaching horde. Joined by steadfast farmer Krul, whose unyielding ties to the earth fuel his quiet strength, and battle-hardened warrior Jird, whose steel and cunning carve paths through despair, they forge uneasy alliances amid crumbling ruins and eternal stone roads that whisper forgotten secrets.
