Gabriel Reyes is no hero. Branded as the "trash ex-husband" after being cast aside by his ambitious fiancée, Celestia, he’s resigned to a quiet life on the outskirts of Kyros, a land teetering on the edge of chaos. But survival isn’t so simple in a fractured world of warring nobles, barbarians, and lurking monsters. When Gabriel is thrust into the company of misfits—an exiled noble, a brash barbarian, and a tactician with secrets of his own—he’s forced to navigate dangerous alliances and a brewing rebellion. In a world of aura-forged warriors, mana-wielding mages, and the shadowy unknown, Gabriel’s journey isn’t about redemption—it’s about proving that even those cast aside can rise.
