In an unrecorded era, a bastion of humanity sought the primordial guardians of a calamitous energy of unknown origin and purpose. In the crux of a great war, the actions of one warmonger caused a worldwide outbreak, transforming friend and foe alike into undying entities driven mad with human desire. That warmonger, wrought with guilt, painted a faceless woman before disappearing from the world.

That warmonger would be worshipped by some as the "Begetter," a god who had ushered the era of the tainted ones. Several millennia following the beginning of the Scourge, one tainted sought to reunite with his so-called creator and founded the Elegies, a group of like-minded tainted including Enlenea, the faceless painting granted life by the Scourge. But Enlenea empathised with the plight of a human woman, and that woman would gift Enlenea with what she secretly desired-humanity and the power to forge her own life, at the cost of suffering a broken world.

A thousand years later, Lyaphend Farwalth is born in Golem, an advanced nation among many scattered in the forlorn lands. Possessing the power of a tainted, the will of a human, and a glaive exalted by the former guardians of the Scourge, Lyaphend must reclaim her memories as Enlenea to decide her fate in a world with both mortal and otherworldly beings seeking to use her for their purposes.

But with her nation at the cusp of political upheaval and a terrifying nemesis from her past life waiting in the shadows, she may well be fated to suffer an unforgiving life-provided she can suppress the dormant mad spirit within her and avoid becoming her own greatest enemy.

In this rerelease of Foedus et Monstrum, the grim underworld of Golem is further explored in the 14,000-word special chapter, "The Worrier and the Warrioress!"

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
