I died once. Now, I live in the body of a villain destined to be destroyed.

As Ashen Crimson, the disgraced heir of a fallen house, I was meant to be a stepping stone for the hero, a tragedy in a pre-written tale. But I remember the future, and I refuse to play my part.

Using the memories of a fallen god and a cunning this world isn't ready for, I will manipulate the plot, break the hero, and claim the power he was meant to wield. They see a broken boy, a remnant of a shamed family. They don't see the strategist pulling the strings from the shadows.
They can call me a villain. They can call me a monster.
But the family I'm building from the ashes of this broken world will call me their protector.
And for them, I will become a king.

The royal carriage rolled to a silent stop before the grand, obsidian steps of the Dragon Queen's palace. The air here, so close to the heart of the kingdom's power, was different—thin, sharp, and humming with a latent, untamed magic that seemed to emanate from the very stones of the mountain. Even the wind carried a whisper of ancient tongues, long dead but not forgotten. Every breath filled my lungs with something not quite air, an electric intensity that prickled my skin and pressed on my thoughts.
