Magic.
A fast-paced fantasy with magical creatures for those who enjoy the Furies of Calderon (Codex Alera series) by Jim Butcher, Unsouled (Cradle Series) by Will Wight, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan..
In order to protect his home, his adopted sister, and the girl he admires from afar, Volke will need to confront his hero, the Master Arcanist Gregory Ruma.
He\'s already killed a population of phoenixes and he intends to kill even more.
But the Knightmare knows a terrible secret: Ruma is a murderer out to spread corrupted magic throughout their island nation.
So when Volke stumbles across a knightmare, a creature made of shadow and terror, he has no reservations.
And he\'ll take anything--a pegasus, a griffin, a ravenous hydra--maybe even a leviathan, like Ruma.
First he needs to become an arcanist, someone capable of wielding magic, which requires bonding with a mythical creature.
Gravedigger Volke Savan wants nothing more than to be like his hero, the legendary magical swashbuckler, Gregory Ruma.
A murderer among heroes.
Sailing.
