A Slave's Path to Power 2
(2026)(The second book in the A Slave's Path to Power series)
A novel by Mason Ropero
Tavian Marr escaped the Ossuary of Broken Crowns with his chains gone, his Level soaring, and no master left to tell him what he was allowed to become.
He expected freedom to feel larger.
Instead, it comes with wounded survivors who need food, roads controlled by the same Houses that once owned them, and powerful people already deciding who has the right to claim what walked out of the mountain.
House Kell still considers Tavian property. Other Great Houses see something potentially even more valuable: an unmarked Kharuun who can grow outside the limits their world was built to enforce.
And Tavian is growing fast.
Every fight leaves him stronger. Every new ability changes what he thought his body could do. But the farther he travels, the clearer it becomes that raw power will not solve the problem waiting beyond the next road.
Because Tavian is no longer fighting only for himself.
The survivors of the Ossuary are choosing their own paths. A broken crown is appearing on walls, bridges, and roadside posts in places Tavian has never been. Strangers are turning his refusal to be owned into a symbol—and the Great Houses are beginning to notice.
Meanwhile, fragments of buried Kharuun history point toward a truth older than House Kell, older than Tavian’s enslavement, and far more dangerous than the lies written into his family records.
Tavian wanted freedom.
Now he has to learn how to protect it without becoming another man who decides what everyone else should do with theirs.
The chains are broken. The road is open. And the world is about to discover what happens when the property starts choosing for itself.
Book 2 continues Tavian Marr’s progression with explosive growth, evolving abilities, tactical battles, ancient Kharuun secrets, found family, political conflict, and a rapidly expanding fight against the powers that built their world on ownership.
Genre: Fantasy
