When a void-born god returns to claim the world's stolen magic, a battle-worn king, a berserker chieftain, and an archmage remade by forbidden power must choose which sins they'll trade for victory - or watch the realms burn.
The fires of the North have long since cooled, but embers of vengeance still smolder. From the ruined cliffs of Dürvangard three legends rise: Dradamir the Iron Wolf, a hulking chieftain armed with twin axes; Vidar, High King of the Western Realms, bearing the sword Judgment; and Samael, an archmage whose mastery has been twisted by unnatural arts. When a rift spits black fire into the sky and the resurrected Estorus - now the Hollow Star, stitched from the magic of dead worlds - calls the land to reckoning, old oaths are shattered. Victory will not come on honor alone. These three must wage a last war using every forbidden craft and every sin they once swore to abandon. This is a tale of ash and promise: of kings and monsters, of magic paid for in blood, and of one final vow - Estorus dies, this time for good.

i was reincarnated as abusive father of the hero twins
When a 17-year-old gamer wakes up in the body of one of the most hated characters from his favorite RPG-Darian, the drunken, abusive father of the twin heroes-he's not just confused... he's horrified. The world is grim, unforgiving, and very real. The man he's replaced is a violent failure of a father who, in the game's timeline, is destined to die at the hands of his own children. The problem? Those children are now clinging to each other in fear, and he's holding a bottle he doesn't remember picking up. With no cheat powers, terrible stats (including negative mana), and only vague memories of game mechanics, he has one goal: rewrite the future. He must earn the trust of the twins he was supposed to ruin, master forgotten skills through grit and repetition, and survive in a world that sees him as nothing more than a worthless commoner. There's no prophecy, no system guide, and no forgiveness for failure. Can a burned-out soul trapped in the body of a villain become the father two future heroes need?

The Age of Embers.
The Age of Embers. In the shadowed dawn of the world, before mortal tongues sang of sorrow or glory, dragons ruled the skies as stewards of balance, born of flame and memory. Among them, Ignis, the Eternal Flame, bore the wisdom of ages, upholding harmony between sacred fire and the ever-changing world. But where fire glows, shadow rises, and mankind emerged from dust with the will to choose, forging a fragile place in a world not made for them. What began in awe twisted into envy. Reverence soured into fear. And from fear, betrayal was born. Thus fell the dragons, hunted and broken beneath steel and pride. The noble Solis deceived. The wrathful Caelum struck down. And at last, only Ignis remained-her fate entwined with a queen, whose choices would echo into legend. Told in eight short, sweeping books, The Age of Embers is a tale of war and wisdom, of legacy and loss. It is the passing of an age... and the uncertain birth of another. Yet even as the fire dims, one ember endures. A dragon hatchling, Vaelith, born into silence and guided by a lone sage, awakens in the deep places of the world. And with him, a question rekindles: Can fire, once broken by fear, rise in understanding?Complete
