I died once. Now, I live in the body of a villain destined to be destroyed.

As Ashen Crimson, the disgraced heir of a fallen house, I was meant to be a stepping stone for the hero, a tragedy in a pre-written tale. But I remember the future, and I refuse to play my part.

Using the memories of a fallen god and a cunning this world isn't ready for, I will manipulate the plot, break the hero, and claim the power he was meant to wield. They see a broken boy, a remnant of a shamed family. They don't see the strategist pulling the strings from the shadows.
They can call me a villain. They can call me a monster.
But the family I'm building from the ashes of this broken world will call me their protector.
And for them, I will become a king.

The shadows are gathering, and Ashen's journey is just beginning. Your support is the flame that lights his path!

Queen Lilith, a vision of fire and shadow, lounged on her throne of obsidian and gold, her crimson eyes gleaming with a detached, almost predatory amusement as she watched the drama unfold. And Christina and I, the unwilling actors in this grand, royal play, sat on chairs forged from my own restless shadows, our own minds a chaotic battlefield of conflicting emotions.
