Kael Veyne was Avelmar's greatest war mage—until the city's ruling magisters betrayed him, stripped his rank, and left him to rot in the Warrens.
Now he's made a pact with something older than the Spellspire itself: the Lord of Dust, a forgotten power that offers vengeance in exchange for flesh. Every day, more of Kael's body turns to glittering ash. Every spell he casts devours another piece of his humanity.
He doesn't care.
The magisters who destroyed him will pay. The lords who profited from his fall will choke on the dust they forced him to serve. And if Avelmar burns in the process? Perhaps a city built on rot deserves to crumble.
But the Lord of Dust has plans beyond Kael's revenge—and the ancient powers of Ash, Sand, and Dust are waking. The bargain Kael struck might save him from his enemies… or unleash something far worse than the men he's sworn to destroy.
In a world where justice is just another word for revenge, how much of yourself can you sacrifice before there's nothing left to save?
Perfect for readers who love dark fantasy, morally grey protagonists, and revenge stories with teeth.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Join us oh gentle readers, for a fantasy retelling of the classic, 'The Count of Monte Cristo.' Betrayed. Broken. Reborn.Once a hero, Kael Veyne walked the streets of Avelmar adorned in triumph. War-mage, lover to Lady Elira, he rose from humble birth to the kingdom's highest honors-until a single night of courtly treachery destroyed everything. Accused of unspeakable crimes he did not commit, Kael is condemned to the kingdom's deepest prison. There, beneath stone and shadow, something ancient whispers his name.When power is taken, vengeance remains. Transformed by forbidden magic-the last, desperate bargain with a primordial dust Lord-Kael claws his way back to the surface. But the city he returns to is not the one he lost. Nobles whisper of plague and rebellion. His betrayers rule unchallenged. And Elira, the woman he cannot forget, wears a crown beside his greatest enemy.Now Kael walks among the living as Lord Mordain, a shadow-haunted legend becoming myth and nightmare. As kingdoms tremble and old gods stir, his quest for justice threatens to crack the seams of reality itself. But as love, memory, and vengeance collide, must he risk becoming the very monster they all fear? Fans of dark, character-driven fantasy, tragic romance, and slow-burning revenge will find themselves enthralled by Pact of Dust, a tale of ambition, loyalty, and the true cost of power.
