The River decides who lives and who dies.
Amos is the son of the Elder of Brokenwing Hill, a simple farming village on the hillside banks of the River, far removed from the concerns of Kherisai's great cities. But Amos has a secret: Amos is Takarhet, a cultivator who converts the mystical waters of the River into takar, which he can use to increase his luck and get his way more often than not. But when a noble representative of Scepter Djra arrives from the upriver city of Emso to decide if his village will receive much-needed funding to improve their irrigation system, Amos's ability as Takarhet will be put to the greatest test, and he might just find himself wrapped up in cosmically dark events prophesied of in ages past when the God of Fear last made himself known upon the face of the earth.
The River decides who lives and who dies, but Amos will have to decide if saving his people is worth losing his soul.

Read THE RIVER'S CURSE, the Short Story Prequel to God of Fear: The River's Wrath Saga.
It seriously means a lot that you've even come this far. I'm working tirelessly to bring you new chapters of The River's Wrath Saga, but if you don't want to wait for the next chapter to come out, I'd love for you to check out THE RIVER'S CURSE, a short story prequel to River's Wrath. I think you'll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it, and I promise it doesn't have any spoilers for the rest of the saga.
I post random thoughts over on my website, zacharyjvacek.com, and you can also check out some of the other things I've been working on.
