The endgame has begun. The battle for the emperor's throne grows ever fiercer. The City of Countless Souls cowers behind locked doors as the whims of the downtrodden and the powerful bring the great game of Araxes to its chaotic conclusion. With the soulblade at his hip and magic in his soul, Caltro's freedom is almost within reach. But as Temsa reign of murder clashes with Widow Horix's plans, the locksmith's fate becomes all the more entwined with the needs of dead gods, the Cult, and vengeful royals. Caltro realises his struggle is not just for his redemption, but for that of the entirety of the Far Reaches.
While the Core Districts descend into chaos, debts left unpaid in the desert haunt Nilith's long-awaited arrival in the city. A new foe is hunting her through the streets, an enemy with enough power to rival even that of the Cloudpiercer. And yet all their struggles pale in comparison to the dark omen that is spreading through the Arctian Empire: The River Nyx is drying up.

Chasing Graves TrilogyWelcome to Araxes, where getting murdered is just the start of your problems. For in Araxes, the dead do not rest in peace in the afterlife, but live on as slaves for the rich. a new dark fantasy trilogy. Inspired by Egyptian mythology and packed with dark humour and action tale of ghosts, sorcery and meddling gods.<b> A person who longs to change the past will only see themselves as a product of what could have been. The longing changes nothing of the present” </b> Pros1. Hard magic system - Soul binding - souls can be bound into a) ghosts called as shades b) objects c) animals2. Complex plot we follow a locksmith who died in the first chapter and now the dead gods want him to save the world3. Multiple POVs we follow a mercenary , empress ,princess, locksmith done well each character are developed so well4. Politics of different faction - royals , noble houses , church , chamber are done so well that you dont know who to trust 5. Converging of all plots
