Abandoned at birth. Betrayed by the gods. Left to die in the darkness. When Kieran Valdros was summoned to a world of magic, he was cast aside the moment his frail body was deemed worthless.

Rising from the brink of death, he shattered the limits of mortality, slaying a legendary beast and claiming his rightful place among the most powerful beings to ever exist. Now, as the God of All Magic, Kieran returns-not as a savior, but as a force of reckoning. The world that cast him aside will kneel. The gods who abandoned him will fall. But with power that defies fate itself... will he become the hero of this world? Or its greatest nightmare? ©All Rights ReservedComplete
