The Patriarch of Pestilence

The Milward Chronicles book 4

By: Robert Lee Beers

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The war was only the beginning.
Now something far worse is coming.
While the Southern Empire licks its wounds and Duke Bilardi descends into madness and dark sorcery, an ancient horror known only as the Destroyer stirs beneath the world. Its shadow stretches toward Grisham like black plague, and the prophecy that began with two orphaned twins is racing toward its bloodiest verse.Adam and Charity—separated by war, politics, and destiny—are finally reunited in the tunnels beneath a dying city. One heartbeat of joy in a storm of steel and sorcery.
But joy never lasts long in the Milward Chronicles.
Adam’s shaping magic is growing too strong, too fast. Every spell leaves scorch marks on his soul.
Charity’s bow has tasted the blood of earls and monsters alike, yet the next arrow may be aimed at the brother she just got back.
And somewhere in the frozen dark, McCabe—once a man, now a thing of pure pestilence—walks again, hungry for the boy who cut off his hand.
Old wizards make desperate bargains.
Corrupt dukes trade their humanity for power.
A dragon circles overhead, unsure whose side to burn.
And a librarian’s letter carries the four most terrifying words in the empire:“It has already begun.”This is the book where the classic epic fantasy you love grows teeth.
Where the good guys start to break.
Where prophecy stops being destiny and starts feeling like a death sentence.Old-school, heart-pounding, 90s-style epic fantasy on steroids: siege warfare, soul-eating plagues, dragons picking sides, and two kids who just wanted a quiet life discovering the world will burn without them.
You’ve followed Adam and Charity through h***.
Now watch them try to keep h*** from swallowing everything they love.
