Primordial God: The Rise of Darkness
This is the first of the twelve Primordial Gods book, this time, it follows Alexander, the God of Existence (He who exists in inexistence, the most powerful character in all of fiction). From the humble beginnings to the very top.
Alexander is born with the all seeing eyes, a rare heavenly blessing that hasn’t been seen in centuries. This rare power, unseen for centuries, makes him a symbol of hope but also a target of envy and cruelty. Lord Luci, a cunning and powerful manipulator, takes Alex under his wing under the guise of mentorship, all while plotting to steal Alex's powers at their peak. He does all of this all the while pretending to be saving Alexander from the others who want his eyes. A category that contains a lot of very powerful and evil people.
Alex's journey is one of immense suffering and betrayal. Lord Luci orchestrates his downfall, killing Alex's family, manipulating his emotions, and framing Kelvin Amadi as the villain. These events push Alex to awaken his full potential, setting the stage for an epic and emotional quest for revenge. One that is as brutal as it is bloody, a true beauty of dark fantasy.
The story peaks in brutal, heart-stopping battles where Alex and Kelvin join forces to defeat Lord Luci. A war for the Universe is fought and won. However, their victory comes at a high price, unleashing an even greater evil: Master Valkorath, an ancient force of destruction. The book ends with Alex’s death, a bittersweet sacrifice that allows him to ascend as one of the Twelve Primordials, paving the way for a new era.
This is an immensely dark fantasy novel, if you can't stomach the extreme, leave now. If you can, read on, if you're not hooked from Chapters 1-4, don't read again, I have definitely failed you.
