He believed he was the hero. The world called him a villain.
Born with powers feared and punished, he fought to change a society that hunted the gifted. He rebelled against tyranny, challenged a system rigged to destroy those like him, and vowed to turn his abilities into a force for good.
But the closer he came to power, the more the world, and himself, unraveled. Every choice, every battle, every act of supposed heroism left ruin in its wake. And as the truth clawed its way to the surface, he realized what he had tried to deny all along: he was not the hero of this story. He was its villain.
Cinders of the Crown is a dark, immersive fantasy novella of rebellion, power, and the fine, dangerous line between heroism and villainy.
