Paladin of God
An Epic Fantasy Saga of Faith, Destiny, and Sacrifice
by RUBEN D.A. BARCO
A MONSTER SLAYER. A FORGOTTEN EVIL. A DESTINY HE NEVER SOUGHT
Eäolir is a wandering Voräkin — a sellsword and monster slayer traveling across East Angliard, in search of his next contract.
When woodcutters vanish in the ancient Forest of Lost Souls, what begins as another job draws him into a growing darkness—and into the path of Wandöra, a Knight Sister of the Crimson Flames. Together, they are drawn into a perilous journey as the first signs of an ancient evil begin to stir once more.
Their journey has begun!
A Voräkin called to a Greater Destiny!
A sellsword burdened by a past he cannot escape, Eäolir walks the roads of Aërwa with little more than his sword, his courage, and a stubborn sense of honor. When an ancient darkness begins to stir, his journey draws him towards a destiny far greater than anything he sought—and towards a struggle that will test his strength, his loyalties, and his faith.
A Blade of Grace, Courage, and Conviction
Elegant yet formidable, Wandöra is a Knight Sister and lieutenant of the Crimson Flames, a warrior whose grace conceals a deadly mastery of the blade. Fiercely courageous and steadfast in her convictions, she faces the gathering darkness of Aërwa on her own term, she has devoted her life in the service of the Church of Nomolos.

An ancient darkness stirs. A forgotten destiny awakens.
For ages, the world of Aërwa has endured beneath the fragile light of hope while the echoes of a forgotten past faded into legend. Yet beyond the reach of memory, an ancient evil waits with relentless patience, its designs reaching far deeper than any kingdom, faith, or mortal soul can comprehend.
As hidden truths begin to surface and long-forgotten powers awaken once more, unlikely heroes are drawn into a journey that will test their courage, convictions, and the very meaning of sacrifice. Every step brings them closer to revelations capable of reshaping history — and to an enemy whose shadow has stretched across the ages.
Set in a world wrought by faith, sacrifice, ancient mysteries, and the eternal struggle between the Champions of Light and the Minions of Darkness, Paladin of God is an epic fantasy saga exploring hope, redemption, friendship, perseverance, and the choices that determine the fate of kingdoms and generations yet unborn.
Drawing inspiration from classical epic fantasy, mythology, history, languages, and spiritual themes, the saga invites readers into a richly imagined world where every victory demands a price, every choice carries consequence, and even the smallest light can challenge the deepest darkness.
The Pilgrimage of Light, the opening novel of the Ascension trilogy, marks the beginning of this journey.
