It Happened One Summer A

The priests say the gods wove the universe from nothing and that mortals exist to kneel in gratitude. Kael Ashworn believed that too, until the night a god tried to erase him from existence and flinched instead of striking. In that flinch, Kael saw the truth no mortal was ever meant to survive learning: the gods are not creators. They are conquerors. Now Kael carries a fragment of the throne; they stole a shard that can speak a god's true name and strip the divinity wrapped around it like armor. One by one, he intends to hunt the gods through their own heavens, break their names, and take back what they stole. But every god he kills tells him more about the throne beneath the throne, and the closer he gets to it, the more he understands why the gods have spent an eternity making sure no one ever sits there again. Even gods must kneel. The question is what happens after they do.

"If you've any conscience left in you, you'll understand that you deserve this." The prison doors closed behind him with those final words. Ethan Carvendish was the true heir of the Carvendish family, yet his existence was treated as nothing more than a stain that needed to be erased. "You're nothing but a criminal!" His father discarded him without hesitation. "I regret giving birth to you. I wish Charlie was my biological son!" His mother chose an adopted son over her own flesh and blood. "Charlie is my only brother, not a disgusting parasite like you." His sister looked at him with nothing but disgust. "It's just three years in prison. Charlie is delicate, unlike you." The woman he loved stood beside his adopted brother, forged evidence, framed him, and watched silently as he was condemned for a crime he never committed. For three years, he rotted in prison for someone's crime, while they celebrated his fall. The prison did not break him, it awakened him. Now Ethan has returned, not as the discarded heir… But as the Shadow Tyrant. A name whispered in fear. A power no one can control. A ruler the elite world cannot defy. "Son… We were wrong." The parents who abandoned him now kneel before him. "Ethan, sister regrets everything… please come back…" The sister who once saw him as nothing but a disgrace now begging for his attention. "Ethan… please give me another chance…" The woman who once sent him to prison crawls to his feet. But the Ethan Carvendish they betrayed died behind those prison walls, the one who returned is coldhearted. As the world trembles before the Shadow Tyrant, only one question remains. Will Ethan Carvendish reclaim everything that was stolen from him… or will shadow tyrant destroy them all without mercy?
