Shadow of a Dead God (Mennik Thorn Book 1)

Description

If Mennik Thorn had known the morning would end with him being framed for murder, he would have stayed trapped in the cupboard. Instead, he made the mistake of helping out his oldest friend. Now he’s being hunted, and everyone who could clear his name is being killed.

So how is a down-on-his-luck mage, broke, traumatized, and with a habit of annoying the wrong people, supposed to prove his innocence when everyone believes he’s guilty?

If he wants to get out of this, he is going to have to throw himself back into the corrupt world of the city’s high mages, a world he fled years ago. But even that may not be enough, because a new, dark power is rising in Agatos, and all that stands in its way is one second-rate mage . . .
