Once Bitten Twice Shy

Xue Wuchen ruled an empire through forty years of unmatched cultivation and unforgiving fear — until seven of his most trusted followers put a blade through his chest in his own throne room. He should have stayed dead. Instead, he wakes up in the dying body of Ren Xiao, the weakest disciple in the history of the Azure Hollow Sect — a boy with no cultivation root, no name worth remembering, and three seniors already standing over him with drawn swords. His mind is still a tyrant's. His body can barely hold a sword. To survive, he must relearn cultivation from absolute zero, all while hiding the one truth that would get him killed twice: that the "nobody" everyone despises is the same man an entire empire was built on murdering. But someone already suspects. An elder who flinches at a single flicker of light. A sharp-eyed disciple who notices too much. And a killer in the dark, sent by someone who should have no reason to fear a nameless failure at all. The empire that rose from his death still calls him a monster. The people hunting his bloodline haven't stopped — they've just forgotten what he looks like now. And somewhere beneath the lies both sides have told for a generation, the real reason he was betrayed is still buried, waiting for a weak boy with a tyrant's mind to dig it back up. He wasn't given a second chance to be forgiven. He was given one to make sure they never see him coming.

In a world where magic is everything and bloodline is destiny, one boy was born with nothing. Aethoria is a continent fractured by war five rival kingdoms each anchored to a unique form of elemental magic drawn from the Aeths, crystallized veins of life force buried deep in the earth. For a thousand years, the kingdoms coexisted in uneasy balance. Then the Solmere Empire began to burn. Karl Dun is seventeen years old when his village is set alight. He is a commoner, an orphan, and worst of all in Aethoria Aethless: tested twice and found hollow, incapable of bonding with any elemental magic. In a society where your Aeth-bond determines your value, your rank, and your right to dream, Karl has been told since childhood that he is nothing. But when a Solmere fire-officer seizes his wrist during the burning of Durnholt, something impossible happens. Karl absorbs the man's fire-Aeth. Not copies it. Not borrows it. Takes it and the fire burns in his veins as though it has always been there. Forced to flee into the cursed Grey wood forest, Karl encounters Sera ..a disgraced Deaven shadow mage wanted in four kingdoms who recognizes what he is before he does. She calls his ability Mirroring: the rarest, most feared power in Aethoria's history, last recorded three hundred years ago in the mage who ended the First Kingdom War. The empire hunts Mirrors above all else because a Mirror cannot be defeated by magic. A Mirror becomes magic. As the Solmere Arbiters close in and the other kingdoms begin to mobilize, Karl must learn to control a power he does not understand, survive an alliance with a woman whose loyalties are her own, and decide whether the prophecy that named him the Hollow King, the Aethless
