The Marked and The Broken

Cas refused to kneel. Now the gods know his name.

Earth survived the Accord.

That may have been the easy part.

Humanity is returning in waves, scattered across a world rewritten by the System. Settlements are forming. Divine factions are staking their claims. Soulmarks are becoming badges of faith, power and ownership.

And some marks are breaking.

Cassian Kerrick has already done something the System was never designed to handle: he chose freedom over divine protection. Now, carrying forbidden abilities and accompanied by Wayne, his increasingly foul-mouthed soul-bound companion, Cas is discovering that being Unbound does not mean being unnoticed.

Something is happening to the Marked.

People are fracturing under powers they were promised would protect them. Old enemies are moving. New ones are watching. And when Cas and Mara begin uncovering what lies beneath the gods’ carefully constructed mythology, the story humanity has been told about the Accord starts to fall apart.

Because the gods have secrets.

The System has limits.

And buried beneath both is evidence that the divine order may not be nearly as eternal as everyone believes.

Cas wanted freedom.

Now he has to survive what freedom reveals.

Chains of Heaven: The Marked and the Broken continues the dark progression-fantasy series with brutal fights, dangerous alliances, forbidden System mechanics, found family, divine manipulation and a growing rebellion against powers that have spent far too long believing humanity belongs to them.

The chains can break.

The question is what breaks with them.
