Ratt deserves to die.
He’s working on it.
He just needs his death to mean something. When he meets his parents for the first time in the afterlife, he wants to hold his head high and tell them he died for a noble cause.
But Ratt keeps finding people who need him to live.
A demon-blooded sorcerer, addict, coward, and occasional disaster, Ratt has spent most of his life surviving by accident and suffering on purpose. But when undead armies rise, monsters crawl from forgotten places, and broken people get caught in the teeth of the world, Ratt keeps making the same mistake.
He helps.
Now, dragged through necromancers, swamp hags, pirates, cruel nobles, and the dangerous politics of a world that has no use for men like him, Ratt has to survive long enough to protect the people he loves.
He might even survive himself.
But he’s not happy about it.
Dusted is a dark fantasy novel about addiction, guilt, found family, reluctant heroism, and the terrible burden of being needed when all you wanted was a good death.
