Cut In Half: In All Jest World Book A

“A nice balance of exploring the relationship between two characters as it evolves, against well-described action scenes and devious plots.”

There’s nothing as strong as the bond between twins—until Ligriv awakens an ancient power that could tear it apart forever.

In a land that has never seen war between men, a single act changes everything. When Ligriv finds an unusual gem in a dry creek bed, he sets in motion a force bent on enslaving mankind.

Amid twisted prophecies and awakening magic, Ligriv must make an impossible choice.

Caught between love, blood, and a destiny foretold, Ligriv must decide what matters most—before an unmasked evil destroys the world.

No prior reading required.
