Heroes of Clay by Jeremy Penrose - Dark/Epic Medieval Fantasy - June 2026
Power always comes at a cost... and someone is collecting.
Wealthy twin brothers Eiko and Ichiro Sato never asked for power.
But when they and their childhood friend Akemi are given control over light and darkness, the war between Dracos and Mardis stops being someone else's problem. It becomes theirs.
Their survival will come down to Zen. Cunning yet arrogant, he must escape his chains and find a way back home before it’s too late.
If they can’t find a way to stand together, Dracos may fall. Their people. Their home. Conquered and gone.
As the fragile heroes begin to fall, one question remains: are they shaping their destiny… or serving it?
