The Raptoraem Saga: Book I
Raptoraem by Sibley K - Book I
Six years ago, in the ruins of a failed peace summit, a little witch tried to slay a monster.
Instead, he named her his heir.
Now, Erik Mordiger rules Raptoraem — a sovereign city wrested free from Solarium’s imperial grasp after a brutal revolution. Once a strip-mined colony, riven with smugglers, heretics, and outlawed magicks, the city remains volatile: fractured across five rival Struts and ruled from the Pit, a vertical hellhole seething with syndicates, cults, and old gods stripped from history.
Mordiger, once a backalley powerbroker, now reigns as the Black Maw — a force that rips through gods and kings. With his death-squad, the Raptors, he holds the city by the throat: stymieing civil collapse, strong-arming the Strutlords, and brokering a treacherous treaty with Solarium, who demand access to the Pit’s forbidden mines.
But buried in the fine print is a darker clause: the sanctioned return of Shryke — a political exile who blames Mordiger for her family’s fall… and intends to exact vengeance on her own terms.
At the center of it all is Stryx — the young witch Mordiger rescued from the wreckage of old sins. The girl who once tried to kill him… and who is Shryke’s last living family.
Now sixteen and a full-fledged sorceress, Stryx harbors a storm beneath the skin: war, trauma, and memories not fully her own. The siege that won Raptoraem’s freedom has left her psyche fractured — and her place by Mordiger’s side perilous. She no longer knows what space she holds in his life — ward, weapon, or something far stranger.
Only that he saved her once. And that he swore he always would.
Even if it means dousing the city’s future in flames.
