What if your second chance at life began in a world ruled by monsters, magic, and betrayal?
In THE KNIGHTS OF THE ARCANE: Awaking, debut author Therian Shadow invites readers into a raw and emotionally charged transformation fantasy where power is survival—and identity is everything.
Amarok was a soldier on Earth. Now, he’s something else entirely.
After a fatal encounter, Amarok awakens in a strange new world as a Wolfkin—a beastlike warrior infused with arcane power and haunted by a destiny he never asked for. As he wrestles with his animal instincts and unfamiliar body, he’s thrust into the heart of a decaying world torn apart by corrupted gods, ruthless factions, and a collapsing balance of power.
To survive, Amarok must form uneasy alliances with other misfits: mages, mercenaries, and outcasts with pasts as scarred as his own. Together, they explore deadly dungeons, unravel ancient secrets, and fight to protect each other in a world where trust is rare and betrayal comes easy.
But Amarok’s journey is more than survival—it’s a reckoning. And the deeper he dives into the chaos, the clearer it becomes:
This world doesn’t need a hero. It needs someone willing to become the monster the gods fear.
