Fantasy Web Novel Series XCEL Releases in Print

XCEL

It was announced that Luxierre’s fantasy web novel series, XCEL, featuring exclusive artwork by Joan Munroe, has released in print on Amazon.

XCEL

XCEL: Better Stay Buried is described as follows:

Gods are not kind to ambitious men. When a mere boy aspires to design a new, better world in their place, there’ll be consequences.

Rinkaku Harigane—reclusive, belligerent, teenage prodigy—wants to become the greatest architect the world has ever known. He’ll get his chance when he receives the key to a dangerous ancient Egyptian ritual. Now hunted by a sinister corporation, Rin must fight for survival against an existential threat to rescue his father and seize his dream!

The Tomb of Horus’ Banished Disciple was dismissed by scholars as a myth—until now. Defying years of ridicule, archaeologist Katsuro Harigane finally achieves his life’s work in the Valley of Kings—but all isn’t as it seems. The same day his estranged son, Rin, recieves a mysterious package from Egypt, his school is attacked by monsters! Faced with certain demise, Rin has no alternative but to risk it all!

XCEL: Better Stay Buried is available in Paperback for $11.99, Hardcover for $20.99, and digitally via Kindle for $7.99.

You can pick up a copy at the following link: https://www.amazon.com/XCEL-1-Better-Stay-Buried/dp/B0G3GSMKCJ/
