Volume 1: The Book of Vines (Volume 1 is fully written and completed to be released.) Dante Del Negro spent thirty-five years breaking his back on a dying coffee farm in the mountains of Puerto Rico, carrying debts, family expectations, and land that never gave back as much as it took. Then the mountain collapsed. After dying beneath red clay and stone, Dante awakens in the void between worlds, where two gods argue over his soul like property. One sees him as a tool. The other sees him as a test. Neither asks what he wants. Their bargain gives him a second life as Cole Solari, a noble child in a world of magic, monsters, bloodlines, and divine cruelty. But reincarnation is not mercy. His memories are sealed. Ten years of his new life are stolen from him. His new family is wrapped in secrets, servants wear collars, children are trained for war, and his father watches him less like a son than an investment. Cole has already spent one lifetime being used. In this one, he intends to learn the rules, survive the monsters, endure the weight placed on his back, and make sure the world regrets underestimating him.
