He is a “Fractured Soul,” a descendant in an intergenerational cycle, who will either redeem the world or ruin it. In order to escape the cycle, he should learn how to overcome the same force that is eliminating his human nature and face the most outrageous truth of all: the man who has tortured him is his own father. The world has become the teacher, but Leo now has to rewrite the final lesson. Tags: Progression Fantasy, Academy Fantasy, Gaslamp Fantasy.
