For thousands of years, Golem Mages ruled the volcanic mountain ranges of Ingleheim, but when Herrscher Heinrich declared himself Führer, he took measures to ensure he would be the last with the power to bend golems to his will.
Twenty years later, his regime uncovers the resting place of an Alpha Golem with the power to burn the life force out of anyone caught in its destructive gaze. Katja, a passionate Golem Expert, is tasked to help bring the Alpha under the Führer’s control. She is determined to keep it out of his murderous hands and has no choice but to team up with a nameless and faceless soldier, trained in the efficiently ruthless discipline of Steinkamp. A word synonymous with death.
The pair challenge immense power, but their most trying task is learning how to trust in a world where everyone is afraid of you—or wants to kill you.
"A gripping tale of intrigue, with a fresh new take on a magical world."

- Goodreads Reviewer
"One of my favourite books read in 2018. KE Barron’s take with golems being the primary element was refreshingly unique and a lot of fun to read. Her strong female protagonist will also resonate with a lot of female readers and, combined with the intriguing cast of character cast and the well described world, makes it a great overall read. Highly recommend giving it a shot."
- Amazon.com Reviewer
"It's the very essence of a "pageturner". For a book about golems I almost preferred the parts of the story where the golems took a back seat to the characters and subterfuge. K.E. Barron can understand what classic elements a good story needs while still delivering with something that just feels... unique and natural. Not a trope or cliche. It's hard to tell who is actually the most important character in this novel, and to me that's the sign of a great book."
