Legacy Of The Dark Sage

They call me Julian Mercer and I keep my head down because I learned the hard way that a name can be a target. I answered an ad for a rental and signed a paper I promised myself I’d never sign: a marriage contract. The job was simple — be the son-in-law for thirty days, take the money, be gone. The family needs a “son” to secure a heritage grant and I need the cash to buy a clean slate. What I didn’t plan for was the way Lila Ardmore looked at me like she already knew what I was hiding. Another thing I didn’t plan for was the ledger in an old piano and the way a neighbor called my mother’s name, and the knot in my gut that felt like an alarm the night someone tried to burn the past into ash. I came to act. I stayed to fix what I broke, and the longer I stayed the more I realized the man I was taught to be will not survive who I have to become. If you want my story, read it from where the dark starts.

Through betrayal, sacrifice, and battles in both alleys and hospitals, David rises from the city’s forgotten corners to become the one name whispered in fear and awe: “The Surgeon of Shadows.”

They tagged me trash unworthy of a legend's legacy. So I became the devil seated on the throne. ****** They called his father a saint. And called him a disgrace. Theon Dravorn is eighteen, powerless, and hated. On the day he demands his father’s legacy from the archmage who stole it, he’s branded ungrateful and cast into the Netherworld Spirit-Devouring Wasteland to die. He doesn’t. The ASTRAL VILLAIN SYSTEM binds to his blood. It promised strength, demanded evil, and bred scorn. Each mission feeds his power with hatred, resentment, and blood. Refuse, and it kills him. Obey, and he becomes the demon his father died fighting. Now Theon learns the truth: Ren Dravorn didn’t fall as a martyr. He was murdered. And the killers wear halos in the Celestial Realm. To avenge a saint, Theon must become a monster. The only question is how much of his soul he’ll burn to get there? [For fans of morally grey cultivation, demonic systems, and sons who inherit war instead of peace.]
