The Paradox of Crowns
Paradox of Crowns – Official Synopsis
In the moment between death and oblivion, Cain Lethe awakens—not in Heaven, nor Hell, but in the hollow shell of another’s life.
Now inhabiting the body of a gifted arcane student named Elian Durne, Cain finds himself in a world governed by twelve forgotten Crowns—ancient constructs that distort memory, bend reality, and unravel the self. These Crowns offer godlike power... at a devastating price.
The first to call him is the Crown of Silence, a domain of truth, memory, and unspeakable knowledge. To wield it, Cain must complete impossible rites, survive identity-fracturing distortions, and solve the paradoxes written into the very fabric of the world.
But he is not alone. In the labyrinthine halls of the Esoterium Lexica, secret factions war for forgotten names. Ancient entities whisper in languages never meant for mortals. And in the shadows, a child named Nyra—herself a living memory—remembers things that were meant to be erased.
Cain’s journey will pit logic against madness, truth against oblivion, and identity against transcendence. The further he climbs the path of Silence, the more he realizes:
The cost of power is not just memory... it’s meaning itself.
Perfect for fans of Lord of the Mysteries, Reverend Insanity, and Mother of Learning, Paradox of Crowns is an occult isekai saga of psychological unraveling, forbidden power, and the war between forgotten truths and written fate.
