Reflections Upon the Anniversary of My Descent

The Cambion Chronicles: Book 1

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

What is the price of vengeance?

Her name is Vex and she has it all: the greatest boyfriend in the world, and a golden future as an athlete and top university student. Then it's all ripped away from her in a brutal, senseless attack. As she's dying, a demon makes her an offer: vengeance in exchange for service.

Vex doesn't think twice.

Newly alive and filled to the brim with demonic power, Vex is ready to kill the men who murdered the boy she loved. Pity finding them will mean descending into a world of supernatural cults, predatory monster hunters, dark magic, and fell secrets.

Even worse, the boy she sold her soul to avenge might not be the man she thought she knew…

Kell Shaw's Vestiges of Magic universe gets a new hero in this thrilling, standalone adventure.

Reflections Upon the Anniversary of My Descent is the first book in the Cambion Chronicles, a series of adventures exploring the demonic underworld of the Vestiges of Magic universe.

Author

Kell Shaw is an author and avid tabletop roleplaying gamer, whose lifelong passion for fantasy—especially Shadowrun, the Lord of the Rings, and the World of Darkness—inspired him to create the Vestiges of Magic urban fantasy universe. Kell’s fascination lies with the modern world colliding with magic, and his stories explore the lives of individuals caught between these realms.

Identifying as queer, Kell is committed to writing diverse characters who embark on thrilling adventures, and who aren’t defined by their love lives. He released the first book of the Revenant Records saga in 2022, following an undead teenage detective who wants to grow up despite being forever seventeen.

Based in Sydney, Australia with his partner and beloved feline companion, Kell’s diverse career has included roles as a technical writer, risk analyst, and project manager.
