Maximus Drakhalis died as the weakest son of the Iron Kingdom’s strongest war clan. He watched the Blackstone Citadel burn, betrayed by the Church and slaughtered by demons. He died powerless, witnessing the end of his legendary family.
Then, he opened his eyes.
He has returned to the morning of the attack. Max is fifteen again, physically frail, and stripped of his battle scars. He has no system, no cheat skills, and no time. The demons are hours away, the ancestral seals are already cracked, and the traitor stands at his father's right hand.
But this time, Max has something else: the memories of a war that hasn't happened yet, and the awakening of Cinder, a Sovereign Dragon spirit that terrified even the void.
Max refuses to be the hero who saves the world. He knows he isn't the one meant to rule. His goal is to forge a path of blood and shadows so his sister, Violet, can ascend as the Queen the world needs.
Monarchs wear the crowns. But the King-Maker carries the war.
