The Second Son

The Son of Selfishness: A novel that combines action, drama and a profound moral dilemma in a world where power and immortality are intertwined with human despair.

However, those tales turn out to be more than just stories: they are a harbinger of the tragedy that will mark his destiny. After years of waiting and abandonment, Dyr is reunited with Novara on his deathbed, who gives him a fragment of flesh of "The Immortal", a being condemned to eternity. With this, Dyr acquires a responsibility he never asked for: to protect **Nanatori Novara**, the daughter of his mentor. When a brutal attack sweeps in, Dyr makes a desperate decision. In an act of selfishness and desperation, she consummates Novara's inheritance and unleashes a fate worse than death for Nanatori: the same immortality that has doomed so many before her. Now, with the weight of her mistake on her shoulders, Dyr sets out on a path of no return. He seeks neither glory nor vengeance, but a single goal: to restore Nanatori's soul and restore the peace he took from her. "For if immortality is a curse... then I will be the executioner who releases her."
