This is the first book in the Fostering Faust series
Book Blurb-[]
Alex is dead.
Dead, and apparently with a one way ticket to a place that only the worst of the worst go.
All for a simple choice he made about a product his company owned.
Damned for all time.
Luckily for him, he’s about to be given a chance.
Another choice to make.
He can instead, return to the land of the living, though his soul would belong to another.
Except the world he’s being sent to, isn’t the same one he came from. It’s not even a similar period in time, but from something long past in history.
The dark ages.
And part of the deal to live again, is to make pacts with others. Pacts that would bind the soul of those who take a deal to the same entity who owns Alex’s soul.
How much would you give of yourself to live on is an easy question.
The better question, is how much would you take from others?
If Alex wants to keep living, to keep his soul from being sent to the darkest corner of hell, he’ll have to ask himself that question.
Daily.
