Death's Keep — Sommer Nectarhoff

This is a story of Gods and mortals, of life and death, of a world where fate has no master.

This is the Book of Lokk.
-----------------------------------------
The city of Kartos is a dark, cruel place, and its winding streets lie within the Black Temple's great shadow. The Devout, the priests of the temple, rarely leave its towering walls, but when they do it is only to collect the dead or to lead the city's condemned back to the dungeons.

And those who enter do not return.

It is common knowledge among the Kartosi that the Temple is to be avoided at all costs, and even the corrupt upper caste of the city bows to its will. Lokk, a young thief oblivious to the machinations of the Temple and its puppets, is about to enter a world where evil knows no bounds.
