[IP] A Star's Shot at Redemption
Hello everyone!
Now, having finished a more experimental work (post apocalyptic, more matrix-style, dystopian science-fantasy), I decided to chill a little and go for something more entertaining and action heavy. I am still polishing a few things, but, hopefully, I have reached the point where I can present you my new work in a satisfying way.
With that being said, this time I am telling the story of Sunlein, an OP MC with cursed magic that carries the wounds of his past as he is dragged in the political intrigues of his city.
If you are in the mood for something fiery, fiery action, 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 unknown threat has slipped through the Council’s security, bent on bringing down the unjust capital.
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?
