The Horns Of Ruin

Author: Akers, Tim
In Tim Akers’ world, the gods were once mortal. At face value, that doesn’t sound particularly interesting, but there’s a caveat. Gods become powerful by performing amazing feats, be it saving a race in war or making it your life’s work to heal others. Regular humans can tap into this power by invoking the histories, tools, and quotes of their god. By emulating events that have already happened, they can access anything from increased strength to technology, including steampunk jet packs and monorails. Through this, Akers intelligentially ties his world building into the magic system. Invocations provide readers with a sense of lore as well as satisfaction, which blends well with the book’s fast pace. Incredible fight scenes join with history to create a well-formed world that inspires wonder and doesn’t drag for a single second.
