An epic fantasy about survival, memory, and the strength to rise after the fall.

Death is the world’s way of offering you mercy… but what if you’re denied even that?

Abel Mondragon was just a young culinary prodigy with dreams of opening a tavern—until the night masked invaders destroyed his home and abducted him and his brother. Thrust into a secret underground facility run by a cruel order known as the Grey Ravens, Abel is subjected to brutal experiments, forced combat, and chilling transformations that awaken powers he never asked for.

But Abel's pain unlocks a dangerous truth: he is no ordinary man. He is a weapon. A survivor. A spark of rebellion waiting to ignite.

Inside these pages, discover:

• A dark, emotionally rich fantasy world blending magic, trauma, and resilience

• Gut-wrenching twists, morally grey enemies, and unforgettable allies

• A queer protagonist with a deep emotional core and the will to fight

• A brutal coming-of-age tale forged in fire, ice, and blood

What Preview Readers Are Saying:
