The Sundered Seal Book One of The Abyss Chronicles For ten thousand years, the abyss was only a bedtime story. Dragons, wyverns, and things with voices that shake the earth were myths told to frighten children into behaving. Then a man in plain grey clothes broke the seal. Veyrath is forgettable to look at and terrifying to know. To fulfil an ideology no one else can bear to hear, he unleashed the creatures of the abyss and spread a curse that turns humans into mindless, murderous abominations. Worse, he cannot be killed, because hundreds of his clones are hidden across the world, each one as powerful as the original. In the quiet valley of Dawnhollow, twins Kaelen and Lyra have just turned twenty-one. She is a prodigy of the wind and the second rank. He is the first Ascendant the settlement has seen in living memory, with a golden light that heals instead of destroys. When the first monster comes over the wall wearing a shepherd's coat, Kaelen sees a frightened human face beneath the ruin, and he learns his gift can undo the curse. But every cure leaves a mark on him. Each life he saves pulls him a little closer to becoming the thing he is trying to reverse. As the dragons turn out to be prisoners of the same sickness, and Veyrath climbs to a rank no one thought possible, the twins must lead a hopeless war with only each other to hold on to. Some monsters can be healed. Some can only be fought. And the hardest part may be knowing which is which.

They drowned him because a boy like him wasn't supposed to take up space. William Cedrick is twenty-five, still stuck in his fourth year of college, still wearing the same cracked glasses, still the punchline of every joke on campus. Orphaned, broke, and bullied since the day he set foot in university, he has learned to make himself small — smaller than his body, smaller than his grades, smaller than his own name. He has nothing. No parents. No money. No one, except a girl named Natasya who bandages his wounds and never asks him to be grateful for it. Then his tormentors throw him into the sea and hold him under until he stops fighting. William dies. And something else wakes up in his place. He returns with a new face, a new body, and a new mind — and a system only he can hear, one that turns every lie told against him into cold, hard cash. The uglier the lie, the richer he gets. The crueler the liar, the faster their world burns down. Nobody recognizes him. Nobody remembers the fat, awkward boy they killed. They only see a stranger — flawless, brilliant, untouchable — walking back into their lives like a debt collector who has finally come to collect. This is not a story about becoming someone new. This is a story about becoming exactly who he always should have been — and making every single one of them pay, one lie at a time.

Her mother covered her mouth as tears filled her eyes. “This… this cannot be real,” she said. “The specialists told us your nerves were permanently damaged.” Her father approached more slowly, his expression controlled. He looked at Sonia’s legs carefully, then at the crowd gathering around us. “This is unexpected,” he said thoughtfully. “Very unexpected. How did this happen?” Sonia looked slightly overwhelmed by the attention. “I… I don’t know,” she admitted honestly. “I woke up this morning and I could feel my legs again. I stood up, and they supported me.” Gasps erupted around us. “A miracle…” “Did the family secretly hire someone?” I stood beside her the entire time. Yet it was as if I did not exist. Conversations flowed around me, not to me. I was present, but irrelevant. “What a shame,” someone whispered nearby. “Now that she can walk again, she is still tied to that useless man.” “She deserves better than him.” “When she was crippled, he was suitable. Now? Not anymore.” I smiled faintly to myself. When she could not walk, they pitied her and mocked her marriage. Now that she could stand again, they were already calculating her value. Sonia heard the whispers too. I saw her shoulders stiffen slightly, though she tried to maintain her composure.

Stripped of his marriage, his money, and his father’s compass in one brutal afternoon, Nolan Cross discovers his hands remember things his mind never learned.
