Rageblood: Made to Break [Dark Fantasy Progression]

Lumberjack apologizes to the woman who is trying to kill him. He is seventeen, covered in scars, and all he wants is a quiet life and people who won't betray him. But the world he lives in has no room for that. Instead he gets scars, a noise in his head, and enemies who keep coming back. Each one hands him a piece of his own past, and each piece hurts more than the last. He thinks every bad thing is his fault, so he tries to fix it all. He never quits. Quitting would cost him his life and an entire empire.
