A STAR'S SHOT AT REDEMPTION [ OP MC | CURSED POWER | TOURNAMENT]

Cover art: Will Schwarzburg (me!) 

They beat him, humbled him, and leashed him. Now, the world will remember the flames of the Wandering Disaster.

Sunlein was once the fiercest young talent in the capital, his power surpassed only by his loyalty. But those gifts grew too strong, too fast. Spiraling out of control, his flames nearly burned the city that had once honored him as its cherished prodigy—and the Council wasn’t willing to forgive his mistake.

Having his powers sealed and only a lingering sense of duty to keep him company, Sunlein is given one last chance to redeem himself by serving the capital as a guard. But trouble always finds him. An alliance emerges that maneuvers through the Council’s tight security, decreeing the complete destruction of the unjust capital before the coming elections.

With a life-choking, magic-binding collar around his neck and chaos spreading through the streets, Sunlein must weigh his priorities anew. Time is running out, and he must either watch his city burn or risk his life to unleash the Disaster once again.

But if he succeeds in breaking his leash... who will protect the citizens from him?

: This novel is part of a larger series set in the same universe! Worldbuilding is mainly reserved in the background but expect the depths befitting a historian writing fantasy!
