Sky Pride – Volume One: The Feral Daoist
The heavens decreed his death… He should have died in the womb. Or when his family was murdered. Or when the house burned down around him. Or when he woke up in the dump sick and missing fingers. Even the magic ring with a ghostly grandpa trapped inside it was sabotaged. A reasonable person would roll over and die. Tian isn’t that reasonable. And as it happens, neither is Grandpa Jun. In a world where immortality can be cultivated and miracles forged, a broken boy will defy the heavens and soar. The Feral Daoist is the first book in Sky Pride, a new cultivation fantasy series from Warby Picus, author of the hit Slumrat Rising series. With more than 26,000 followers, 5,000 five-star reviews, and over 20 million views on Royal Road, Sky Pride is perfect for fans of Cradle, xianxia, earned power growth, and heroes stubborn enough to defy the heavens themselves.

About Shadow Alley Press
We love books and we are crazy-passionate about publishing the best adult Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Action-Adventure around.
Though our stories can be thought provoking at times, our primary goal is to entertain readers with wild stories and interesting characters you can’t walk away from. We want to whisk readers into a different world where the impossible is possible, where monsters lurk around every corner, but so do heroes, always ready to swoop in and fight back the dark.
We are also deeply dedicated to the authors we work with. For us, publishing is less about individual titles and more about supporting the authors we love. We want our writers to succeed, to thrive, to sell books, and to pursue their fiction passionately. We also want ALL writers to succeed and achieve their dreams of crafting excellent books and connecting with an audience who will love what they do. We firmly believe there has never been a better time to be an author. We also believe publishing is not a zero-sum game and that a rising tide lifts all boats. For that reason, we offer a variety of writing resources for folks looking to grow as wordsmiths or publish their books independently.
