Thirteen Pillar

Sin Arngrim was never meant to live a quiet life. Born with a soul whispered about in forbidden scriptures, he awakens in Ashir, a world where magic breathes through the earth, dragons rule forgotten skies, gods hide behind their temples, and monsters wear faces kinder than saints. With his memories shattered and his past buried beneath seals he does not understand, Sin enters a prestigious magic academy in search of answers. There, among ancient rituals, noble bloodlines, secret societies, and students carrying their own curses, he begins to learn the laws of this strange world. But Ashir is not the paradise it pretends to be. Beneath its shining kingdoms sleep old sins, dead gods, and truths powerful enough to drive men mad. The deeper Sin digs, the more the world seems to recognize him. Some fear him. Some want to use him. Others believe he should have never awakened at all. And somewhere in the dark, something ancient stirs whenever he draws blood. Sin only wants his memories back. The world may not survive what he remembers.
