The Zero-Rank Sovereign

Branded Zero-Rank before all of Ironveil Academy, servant-born Talen Greymark is betrayed by House Varr and cast into the forbidden dungeon beneath the school to die. But in the dark, Talen awakens a hidden Sovereign System tied to a stolen bloodline, a broken crown, and memories powerful nobles murdered to erase. Now the boy they called worthless must survive beasts, secrets, and betrayal long enough to reclaim the future they buried with his name.
