Throne of Embers

In a world succumbing to a relentless cosmic decay, a lone survivor from the desolate wastes lives by one rule: trust no one and kill to survive. But when a twist of fate grants him a forbidden power—the ability to harness the very corruption that destroys reality—he is thrust onto a perilous path of cultivation. To protect the few bonds he forges in a world of betrayal, he must master a unique power system and ascend through a society built on the law of the jungle. As he unravels universe-shattering secrets and confronts a tragic, fated enemy, he walks a razor's edge between becoming a savior who wields the abyss and the ultimate monster born from it.
