Remnant

The shocking death of an immortal sends Collector Mavell, a master of shadows, on a quest for the killer. He believes a foreseer of Drawlen, a religious regime, knows something about the murder.

Jon Therman and his family of sunrock smugglers stumble into this manhunt. A former slave, he only desires to live unnoticed and to avoid the corruption of the world. But when a Drawlen immortal pursues his children, Jon retaliates.

Jon's daughter, Ella, attempts to rescue her friend from a ritual sacrifice. To do so, she must defy the commands of her fellow smugglers.

Shane zem'Arta, a Freelander spy, searches for his missing commander. His orders complicate Ella's effort to save her friend and Jon's mission to protect his family, leading these old friends on a perilous adventure. Smugglers, rogues, and lords clamber to stand against the Drawlen immortals. Can these fragile factions set aside their mistrust to survive a burgeoning war, or will they fall divided?

Remnant, the first of the four-volume epic fantasy The Palimar Saga, introduces a world of magic, trolls, shapeshifters, and guns. It tells the story of a family's struggle to survive a manhunt for a godkiller, one who has the power to vanquish immortals.

Remnant contends with the expansive world of Patrick Rothfuss. Readers of Jenn Lyon's A Chorus of Dragons and John Gwynne's The Bloodsworn Trilogy will find this an irresistible read.
