Banebringer

There are people in this world who deserve the moniker Demonspawn, Ivana said, but in my experience it has little to do with the color of their blood.

Book One of The Heretic Gods

BANEBRINGERS. Source of the bloodbane who stalk the land. Cause of a thousand wrongs. Despised. Cast out. Hunted.

Vaughn never asked for the powers of a long-forgotten moon goddess. But rarely do the gods give humans a choice when using them in their machinations. Now Vaughn is a Banebringer, loathed by all who discover his true identity–even his father, a man obsessed with his own power and bent on destroying Vaughn’s miserable life.

Vaughn is desperate to end his father before the madman ends him. But to do so he’ll need the skills of Ivana, a vindictive assassin with her own scores to settle. The only question is whether Vaughn can keep himself from becoming another of her targets long enough to see his father eliminated.
