About this title

Synopsis

Ancient sigils once protected the world.
They sealed away forbidden magic, bound unspeakable corruption, and held back horrors older than history itself.

Now those sigils are breaking.

As dark magic resurfaces and ancient seals fracture, corruption spreads throughout the world—twisting beasts, shattering faith, and warping those desperate enough to claim power meant to remain buried. When a reluctant bearer becomes marked by a failing sigil, survival means navigating a world where guardians have fallen, magic demands sacrifice, and truth is as dangerous as any blade.

With ancient forces awakening and the boundary between order and chaos collapsing, every choice risks feeding the very corruption meant to be destroyed. Trust is scarce. Power comes at a cost. And the sigils do not break cleanly—they fracture slowly, taking the world with them.

The Fractured Sigils is a dark fantasy novel filled with ancient magic, forbidden knowledge, epic worldbuilding, and moral ambiguity. This slow-burn fantasy introduces a grim, immersive world where corruption spreads quietly and salvation is never certain.

Perfect for fans of:

• Dark fantasy and epic fantasy novels

• Ancient magic systems and cursed powers

• Grim worlds with slow-burn storytelling

• Stories of corruption, fallen guardians, and forbidden sigils

Book One of The Fractured Sigils begins a dark fantasy series where power corrupts—and the sigils were never meant to last.

About the Author

C. B. Nava is a fantasy author who writes immersive, character-driven stories shaped by ancient power, fractured magic, and the quiet cost of survival. His work explores worlds where protection is never permanent, corruption leaves a mark, and the choices made in moments of fear echo far beyond the battlefield. When he isn't writing, C. B. Nava is building expansive story arcs that unfold across interconnected books and long-form series. The Fractured Sigils marks the beginning of that journey.
