Kael Veyne was born without a core. In the Empire of Ash, that made him worse than worthless. Mocked by nobles, abandoned by allies, and condemned by the academy that raised him, Kael’s fate ends beneath Blackthorn Academy’s execution platform. But death was never the end. Buried beneath the academy lies the corpse of a forgotten god—one erased from history itself. And when Kael reaches for its power, something ancient reaches back. Reborn with the ability to consume souls, memories, and abilities from the dead, Kael begins his ascent through a world ruled by monsters, gods, and tyrants. Yet every soul he devours changes him. The stronger he becomes… the less human he remains.
