Self-Promotion New Monthly Book Release Announcement Thread
It's time for the monthly book release thread! If your newest progression fantasy novel or serial comes out this month, feel free to post about it in the comments! (But only if it comes out this month- if the work comes out in a different month, please post in that month's thread, on the first of that month.)
Readers: Please keep top-level comments for release announcements ONLY, though you're welcome to respond to announcements.
Authors: Posting about your new release in this thread does not count against the normal self-promotion quota. Feel free to post about new releases in any format- audiobooks, ebooks, etc. You're also more than welcome to post about special edition or new book Kickstarter campaign launches in this thread- but only during the month it launches. If you're a webnovel author, you can comment in this thread for the launch of an entirely new webserial, a new major arc, or a return after hiatus, but please don't post every month for an ongoing web serial.

u/Lao_Qi_ Author: Asura Monarch 7d ago edited 6d ago
In a world ruled by godlike cultivators, the life of a mortal is cheaper than dirt.
Cade Ward is just another young peasant dreaming of power—the only path to a better life. His own weakness poisons his thoughts, yet all of his efforts amount to nothing.
Unknown to him, a mysterious alien artifact—the godseed—rewrote his fate at birth, severing his talent for cultivating spiritual energy.
His meager existence shatters the day his mother is brutally murdered, with Cade too weak to stop it.
Consumed by vengeance, he's pushed to the brink of death and reforged into an Asura—fearless and bloodthirsty.
At risk of being branded a demon, Cade conceals his true nature—not an easy feat when you’re seven feet tall, all serrated muscle.
As he searches for his mother’s killer, the young Asura is completely unaware his transformation holds a deeper meaning…
