Paladin of God
An Epic Fantasy Saga of Faith, Destiny, and Sacrifice
by RUBEN D.A. BARCO
A MONSTER SLAYER. A FORGOTTEN EVIL. A DESTINY HE NEVER SOUGHT
Eäolir is a wandering Voräkin — a sellsword and monster slayer traveling across East Angliard, in search of his next contract.
When woodcutters vanish in the ancient Forest of Lost Souls, what begins as another job leads him to creatures that should not be there, a mysterious Knight Sister of the Crimson Flames, and the first signs that an ancient darkness is stirring once more.

An ancient darkness stirs. A forgotten destiny awakens.
For ages, the world of Aërwa has endured beneath the fragile light of hope while the echoes of a forgotten past faded into legend. Yet beyond the reach of memory, an ancient evil waits with relentless patience, its designs reaching far deeper than any kingdom, faith, or mortal soul can comprehend.
As hidden truths begin to surface and long-forgotten powers awaken once more, unlikely heroes are drawn into a journey that will test their courage, convictions, and the very meaning of sacrifice. Every step brings them closer to revelations capable of reshaping history — and to an enemy whose shadow has stretched across the ages.
Set in a world wrought by faith, sacrifice, ancient mysteries, and the eternal struggle between the Champions of Light and the Minions of Darkness, Paladin of God is an epic fantasy saga exploring hope, redemption, friendship, perseverance, and the choices that determine the fate of kingdoms and generations yet unborn.
Drawing inspiration from classical epic fantasy, mythology, history, languages, and spiritual themes, the saga invites readers into a richly imagined world where every victory demands a price, every choice carries consequence, and even the smallest light can challenge the deepest darkness.
The Pilgrimage of Light, the opening novel of the Ascension trilogy, marks the beginning of this journey.
