Ballad of a Rebel

Redael never wanted to lead. He never wanted war. He only wanted to help. Trapped on a ship of human misery, he finds himself caught between survival and morality. Feeding the oppressed seems simple…until survival and kindness become tools for power. Haunted by prophetic dreams, visions of blood, and impossible choices, Redael is drawn into a rebellion he never asked for. Allies rise. Enemies lurk. Every decision edges him closer to the man he swore he would never become. Civil war sweeps across the land, foreign tyrants are expelled, and a fragile freedom emerges—but at a cost even Redael cannot escape. Can he do what’s necessary without losing himself? Or is the price of change always more than any man can bear? Blood. Dreams. Power. And the question that will haunt him forever: what kind of man is worth following?
