The Many Deaths of Cyan Wraithwate

The good part about being immortal is that you cannot die. That is also the bad part. Brash young and markedly sociopathic Cyan has the makings of a full army commander if he lives long enough to be promoted. But when a close brush with death breaks his resolve he is rendered unable to lead his men let alone leave his tent for weeks. The tide starts to turn when his superiors send him a magical artifact that ensures he will not die on the battlefield. Unfortunately for Cyan he soon learns that not dying can be worse than not living-a side effect of the artifacts magic turns more of his body to lifeless iron with each passing day. Knowing time is short before he becomes just another statue in a town square he sets off on a quest to rid himself of his cursed immortality.
