A fallen prodigy, once destined for glory, is cast into ruin by a hidden flaw in his very soul—a crack in his foundation that threatens to erase his power and life. Forced into exile, he finds an unlikely lifeline in a mysterious girl whose rare gift may be the only cure. In a brutal world where strength dictates fate and ancient secrets shape empires, he must outwit ruthless enemies, unravel a conspiracy to steal his destiny, and master a forgotten path where words wield the force of gods. With time running out and betrayal at every turn, his journey from broken outcast to unstoppable force blazes with vengeance, intellect, and unbreakable bonds.
