Ashes of the Red Sun

They called him the Red Sun — not because of his light, but because everything he touched burned. Born in a kingdom that worshiped peace but thrived on silent cruelty, Kael Verin was once a scholar’s son. When his family was framed for treason and executed, something inside him snapped. The boy who once dreamed of truth became a monster that dreamed only of blood. Kael made a pact with an ancient entity known as The Hollow Flame, a forgotten god of wrath sealed beneath the world. The god promised him vengeance — at the cost of his sanity. Every time Kael killed, the flame inside him grew stronger… and his mind grew quieter. Years later, Kael returns not as a man, but as an instrument of divine anger. His path of vengeance turns kingdoms to ash and gods to silence. But when he meets Lira, a blind priestess who can see into emotions, she tells him something that shakes him: “You don’t burn because you hate. You burn because you feel too much.” Now, hunted by gods, haunted by guilt, and torn between two voices — his own and the Hollow Flame’s — Kael begins a journey to learn control. He must either master his rage or be consumed by it and become the new god of destruction himself.
