Centuria

Edition excerpt from Centuria, Vol. 4 (2026): A selfless sacrifice to an ancient god gives a bitter slave a reason to live and a baby to raise. The blood awakening of an ancient god strikes a cruel bargain with a slave named Julian: an innocent life in exchange for extraordinary powers—ones he must use to protect a helpless baby in a cruel and violent world! Sold into slavery, Julian has known nothing but pain. All that changes when he experiences kindness for the first time. But fate has plans for Julian when an ancient god bestows extraordinary powers upon him that he uses to protect his charge, the baby Diana. Reeling from a terrifying prophecy about Diana, Julian must protect her from a foe unlike any other—the vicious Archos, who has supernatural powers of his own. The battle unfolds and Archos and Julian are stymied by each other’s fantastic abilities. As the gruesome fight moves underwater, both are pushed to their absolute limits. Who will emerge from the murky depths the victor?
