Genre: fantasy
Series: Soulbreaker
All power comes with a price. In a world where magic is transferred by the act of killing another, Myddrin stands above the rest. Having accidentally killed the most powerful mage in all of existence, Myddrin now lives a peaceful life in isolation. But there is no such thing as peace in the land of Otor. War calls. The voices of the dead haunt him, and there is nowhere to hide. Cursed with the deathly…
Murder breeds magic. What would you do in a world where killing increased your power?
The magic system of Soul Cage is the driving force of the world Schulz builds for us. A world whose souls are cursed by a fallen god to never find rest.
Soul Cage opens with a strong relevant prologue dropping the reader in the midst of a city that is under siege and moments away from total defeat. The societal power dynamics and magic system are introduced quickly with great effect providing the key inciting incident for, well, just about everyone in this tale.
