Description
Monsters slaughtered his mother. Now they're hunting him to finish the job.
Life is already hard enough in the underground hellscape of a city buried beneath the scorched ruins of America. This fistfighting chef is content with his meager life dishing up stylish meals to feed his fellow corporate slaves. But when brutal monsters threaten his family, a twisted ghost peels the haunted silver dragoon armor off a nearby corpse and welds the metal straight to Edgar's flesh, blessing and cursing him with the arcane power of ancient Atlantis.
Now an undying horror stalks him in the dark. With his family, his vengeance, and his very soul on the line, Edgar must choose between dying on his knees or embracing his role as heir to the calamity his enemies fear most.
Let the hunt begin.

- Jon WanderRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Style- High octane and punchy, the kind of thing that many English teachers and literary types hate because it makes people actually want to read. Action and adventure bleed from the page thanks to the style.
Story- It’s the kind of world you only usually see in the really old pulps and a few pastiches, post apocalyptic-underground-sci-fi-fantasy blend with ogres, swords and guns where magic and monsters from the ancient world clash in a fight that officially doesn’t exist inside the technocratic ruins of once futuristic America. The concept is awesome and the execution delivers fully on the promises.
Characters- The best part IMHO, I love Eddie and his family, in this kind of situation too many modern authors would decide to go full emo teen view of the world. Not here, the Salt family are good salt of the earth people of the sort that made America great in the first place. Hard world? Hah! Bring it on, we’ll face it together! Very, very easy to root for and extremely refreshing.
Contra Retrospectme, our MC Eddie is not motivated only by ‘long legs’. Yeah, there are good looking women in this story and Eddie’s blood is as red as any healthy young man’s, but early on it’s established he has standards. For starters he loves his family and wants to inherit the family restaurant and that's established in his first scene. I really have no idea how Retrospectme thought otherwise.
Even his interactions with his love interest don't give that impression, the reason he is reluctant to pursue Hilde (who is a great character in her own right) isn’t because he’s dumb or wants a hedonistic life instead of commitment but rather because he honestly worries about being able to provide for her should they get involved romantically. A short time later he’s risking his life to save her without hesitation, not something a would be cad would do. He’s a bit hardheaded, as befits a teenager, but very likeable and good company for the story in which I expect him to grow into a real hero.
