Rust and Bone

Sixty years after his brutal murder, the legendary First Blade of the Northern Reach awakens in the broken body of a powerless boy. Kaelen, once a warrior whose name struck fear into armies, now finds himself a beaten initiate, trapped in a decaying noble house burdened by impossible debt. His sister is being sold to a monster, and the man who betrayed him to a dark magic now rules the very academy Kaelen must infiltrate. With nothing but a shattered body, a burning fury, and a rusted sword that remembers his death, he must reclaim his power and exact a vengeance that spans decades. But in a world where ancient betrayals fester and dark magic still lurks, can a ghost in a boy's skin truly rewrite his bloody destiny?
