Kanji was ready to die. A warrior of a doomed world who’d been betrayed far too many times, Death had been his reward—until a tear in the sky ripped his soul from death and cast him into a world on the verge of collapse. Welcome to Aetherion: a world built by gods, torn apart by war, and now spoiled under the weight of heavenly deceit. Summoned by a mysterious priestess with a silver tongue, and secrets deeper than the abyss, Kanji is reborn a Warden of Ruin—a class forbidden and suppressed by the System itself. With a power he scarcely understands, and pursued by the memories of countless past lives, Kanji is not merely overpowered, he is unstable, volatile, and plagued. The gods call him a savior. The Church sees a weapon. And the world knows him as something so much worse. Now Kanji has to survive a world of divine politics, ruined churches, lost planes, a spell of ancient crystals that speak his name, and a woman who might just be the most dangerous thing in it—Lyra Veyne, the summoner who plays both sides of the sacred war… and just might be falling for him. Power comes easy. Trust doesn’t. And in Aetherion, the further you dig, the more the gods bleed.
