Rise of the Unbound

Book 1: The Blade and The Pawn

〜Synopsis〜

No shackles can bind the one destined to become a legend.

Seven is a weapon, not a person. Forged into a deadly assassin by the Iron Claws, his existence is nothing more than contracts and blood. Until fate decides otherwise and allows him to awaken as a Weaver of the dark element.

But instead of freedom, this power earns him a new leash. Sold to a powerful noble, he is given yet another mission: to become the shadow of Lady Aurelia, the daughter of a decorated general. An executioner's sword held to her throat to ensure her father’s absolute loyalty.

And despite all the risks that come with the task, the greatest threat still lies within his own chest. An unborn Astral Beast, planted by a dark cult years ago, is stirring—and if Seven cannot control it, the hatching may consume him entirely.

Something he couldn't allow. Not before he gets his revenge… and perhaps even helps Lady Aurelia claim hers.

*This one has a different voice and writing style than what you’re used to from me. I’m aiming to convey more emotion through indirect inner thoughts.

*First-person POV

*I mainly wrote this during the writer block to experiment with a morally grey MC.

*You’ll probably recognize a few of my favorite tropes in the synopsis too ahah (beast companion, academy, orphan, and so on)
