Fantasy

I, LONG ZHENTIAN......... was always called a jinx. After my adoptive parents died, the Azure Dragon Hall merely tolerated my presence until I awakened a peerless Indigo Spirit Root. Instead of earning their respect, my extraordinary talent rewarded me with a stab in the back by my own Senior Brother. Stripped of my cultivation foundation and thrown into the Forbidden Demon Ocean to rot, I learned that some waters do not consume the broken, but reforge them. Carrying the primordial weight of a forgotten universe within my me, I am finally returning to the surface world. The arrogant empires that built their glory upon my suffering will soon watch their supreme heavens fall.

The world buried Jayden Jian the night House Jian fell. It should have prayed he stayed dead. Years later, Jayden returns from a place no ordinary man could survive, carrying a power he never asked for and one promise he refused to break—to return to Mira Voss, the woman who saved his life when everyone else abandoned him. But Skyreach is no longer the home he remembers. His family name has been disgraced, his inheritance rests in the hands of traitors, and Mira has been reduced from a proud heiress to a chained servant, punished for refusing to betray him. Then a bruised little girl runs into his arms, clutches his robe and calls him Father. Jayden came home expecting a reunion. Instead, he finds a stolen legacy, a shattered family and enemies who still believe he is the helpless heir they once hunted. “You should have remained dead,” they warn him but Jayden only smiles. “You should have treated my family better.” The truth behind the destruction of House Jian reaches far beyond one traitor, and the power awakening within Jayden may decide the fate of Midgard itself. Yet before he can protect a realm, he must reclaim everything stolen from him—and remind Skyreach why some men are better left unprovoked. “You took my name, my home and the years I should have spent with my family.” His enemies laugh, believing one man cannot challenge the powers ruling Skyreach but Jayden’s answer is simple. “I did not return to challenge you.” “I returned to bury you.”
