Novels by Christina Wilder

They call him the "Watchdog of the West Gate." To the wealthy students, Alistair Cain is a joke—a dropout husband living off his brilliant professor wife, tasked with nothing more than checking IDs and chasing stray dogs off campus. To his wife’s powerful family, he is a stain on their reputation, a useless son-in-law who should have been discarded years ago. But they don’t know why the West Gate is the only place on campus where the shadows never move. They don’t know that the "stray dogs" he chases are actually Hellhounds trying to breach the mortal realm. And they certainly don’t know that Alistair is actually the Calamity Star—the exiled God of War serving a 1,000-year penance to suppress the ancient evil beneath the university library. When the seal begins to crack and the elite families of the city become pawns in a demonic war, the useless security guard finally stands up. "You can insult me all you want," Alistair says, adjusting his uniform cap. "But step one foot past this gate, and not even the Heavens can save you."

Adrian Kane appears to be nothing more than a quiet, unremarkable son-in-law forced into Crimson University as part of a family arrangement. Students mock him. Teachers overlook him. His wife barely acknowledges him. But they don’t know the truth. Adrian Kane is the reincarnated God of War, reborn after a celestial war that shattered realms. Bound by a life debt to the man who saved his weakened mortal form, he hides his divine nature to repay what he owes. Until ancient enemies reawaken. When supernatural cracks appear beneath Crimson University and celestial assassins descend, Adrian’s calm mask begins to fall. He swore to repay a debt — not to start a war. But if the campus becomes a battlefield… Then the War God will rise again.

They called him a cripple. They called him a servant. They called him the most worthless man alive. Alex Vex has no magic. In a world defined by flashy elemental spells and cultivation ranks, he is forced to live as the disposable, live-in son-in-law to the prestigious Lin family—a necessary evil to shame their talented daughter, Lin Mei. To humiliate him further, they enroll him in the Silverpeak Battle Academy, expecting him to be crushed in the lowest tier, Class F. What they don't know is that Alex is not a man of this world. He is Subject 001—the last functioning super-soldier, the "Man-Made God" from the long-dead Aethelian Empire—a civilization that mastered physics, bio-engineering, and kinetic efficiency far beyond this world’s petty magic. When a Level 50 Fire Dragon attacks the campus, the mages scream and prepare their grandest spells. Alex? He sees a flawed biological weapon with seven weak points and a ninety-second expiry date. The world believes they are preparing to sacrifice their useless son-in-law. Alex is simply waiting for them to show him their necks.

​Elias Vance possesses a dangerous gift: a perfect, unforgiving memory for every word he reads. When he’s granted access to the forbidden, centuries-old Sub-Library beneath Boston’s elite Athenaeum University, he hires a brilliant research assistant named Anna. ​But as crucial manuscripts vanish and Elias’s meticulously archived notes begin to contradict his perfect recollections, he realizes Anna isn’t just organizing knowledge—she’s consuming it. She is the Librarian, an ancient creature tasked with erasing humanity's chaotic collective memory. ​Trapped in an invisible war where his mind is the battlefield, Elias must race to recall the single, forgotten text inscribed on the Library’s hidden Clockwork Heart. If he fails, the Creature will erase the entire world’s history, starting with his own name.

Zane was the weakest link—the worthless, live-in Son-in-Law who cleaned floors for his wife's powerful, arrogant family on campus. Every day was a cycle of humiliation, designed to keep him weak and subservient. They called him "Zero." ​But Zane was a lie. He was the exiled incarnation of an ancient God of War, sealed in a mortal shell by a cosmic vow. His daily agony wasn't a punishment; it was a desperate containment protocol. ​When a powerful Mythic System awakens inside him, forcing him to fight back to survive, Zane realizes the terrible truth: his wife, the ruthless Student Council President, is the unwitting key to his prison. If she dies, his power unleashes and destroys the city. If he fails to protect her, the Scions of Chaos will capture her and turn his divine spark into a weapon against the world. ​Now, the Son-in-Law must rise as the Commander, using his hidden power to seize billions, crush his rivals, and fight a secret war to protect the one woman who is both his jailer and the only reason he remains a man.
