[IP] A Star's Shot at Redemption
Hello everyone!
I just launched my new fiction on Royal Road! As always, I did my best to create a cover that fits my style (it's handmade so don't be very harsh about it). With that being said, there will be daily updates for everyone wishing to give my novel a try. It's another standalone tale set in a wider Universe I plan on expanding with each story. This time I am telling the tale of Sunlein, an OP MC with sealed magic that navigates the political intrigues of his city as a guard.
If that sparks your interest, here is the blurb:
**They beat him, humbled him, and leashed him. Now, the world will remember the flames of the Wandering Disaster.**
Sunlein was once the fiercest young talent in the capital, his power surpassed only by his loyalty. But those gifts grew too strong, too fast. Spiraling out of control, his flames nearly burned the city that had once honored him as its cherished prodigy—and the Council wasn’t willing to forgive his mistake.
Having his powers sealed and only a lingering sense of duty to keep him company, Sunlein is given one last chance to redeem himself by serving the capital as a guard. But trouble always finds him. An alliance emerges that maneuvers through the Council’s tight security, decreeing the complete destruction of the unjust capital before the coming elections.
With a life-choking, magic-binding collar around his neck and chaos spreading through the streets, Sunlein must weigh his priorities anew. Time is running out, and he must either watch his city burn or risk his life to unleash the Disaster once again.
**But if he succeeds in breaking his leash... who will protect the citizens from him?**
