Paul won the tournament. That turned out to be the problem.
Kill a king's champion in front of the whole capital and people start asking who you are — and that is the one thing a boy hiding a god's core and the blood of an ancient phoenix cannot afford. Paul doesn't want the attention. What he wants is simpler: the ones who hurt the people under his protection are going to answer for it, starting with the academy that let a poisoner walk free.
He isn't doing it alone. A ruthless master guides him from the throne of his own soul, and every fight teaches Paul a little more about the power waking in his blood. Sword against sword, he climbs the warrior's road faster than anyone his age has a right to.
But that road doesn't end in this world. Once a generation the island of Zara rises wrapped in lightning, and thirty doors open to the strongest young fighters of five kingdoms. Paul means to be among them, masked and unknown, just another face in the crowd.
The people who overlook him will come to regret it.
A weak-to-strong cultivation saga of vengeance, monsters, and a protagonist who earns every scrap of his power. Perfect for fans of Cradle and He Who Fights With Monsters.
Genre: Fantasy
