We are excited to announce that we have inked a deal for REQUIEM, a new Progression Fantasy series by Luke Chmilenko, the bestselling author of Ascend Online and Iron Prince!
One of the bestselling LitRPG authors in the world with hundreds of thousands of units sold, we couldn’t be more thrilled to bring Luke’s next work to the Aethon Catalog. Described as Elden Ring meets Dragon Age, REQUIEM is about a warrior named Lysander who is reborn in a world that has fallen to ruin since his death. The Scorn of the Dead Gods has spread like a plague, tainting, infecting and twisting everything in its path, making all that was once beautiful, monstrous.
Lysander must rise again with only haunting fragments of the life he once led. He must bind his soul to the heartless corpse it has inhabited through forbidden and grotesque magic, so that he may save a world on the brink of annihilation. To do so, he must slay the goddess that he worshipped and died for a millennium ago. The only being he has ever loved…
Expect to see the first installment of this thrilling progression fantasy release in 2026! We know you’re going to love it.
