Chasing Graves - Hardcover Edition - Hardcover

by Ben Galley (Author)

"Exceptional writing and great characters."

- Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld

Meet Caltro Basalt. He's a master thief, a selfish wastrel, and as of his first night in the colossal city of Araxes, stone cold dead.

They call it the City of Countless Souls, the jewel of the Arctian Empire, and all it takes to be its ruler is to own more ghosts than any other. For in Araxes, the dead do not rest in peace in the afterlife, but live on as slaves for the rich.

While Caltro struggles to survive and tries to reclaim his freedom, those around him strive for the emperor's throne in Araxes' cutthroat game of power.

The dead gods whisper from corpses about a dark prophecy. A soulstealer seeks to make a name for himself with the help of an ancient cult. A princess plots to purge the emperor from his armoured Sanctuary. And a murderer drags her dead husband across the wyrm-infested deserts, set on reaching Araxes no matter the cost.

One thing is certain in the City of Countless Souls: death is only the beginning.
