In the heart of the Land of Essk, where power is the currency of survival and tyranny runs rampant, Miran Kresh was born. In a world where strength is everything, the powerful bend the river of reality to their will—and those who lack the gift of cultivation are condemned to living in the shadows of society. Miran is immaterial—an outcast, a ghost in a world of gods and monsters. To the world, he's nothing more than a weakness, a flaw in the system. But Miran is no ordinary man. He walks a path forged by his own hand, one that defies the laws of cultivation and mocks the injustices of nature. Born without the ability to cultivate, he was never meant to rise. Yet his hunger for power is evident, and the forces of the world—those who would seek to crush him—have underestimated the power brewing inside him. He is a ghost with a vengeance, a man who will shatter the chains of his fate and become the weapon humanity never knew it needed.
