Unknown Time
A Crown of Ash. A Thief of Seconds. A Love That Shattered Time.
Betrayed by his brother and burned alive on his coronation day, Kael awakens with a curse masquerading as a gift: the power to steal time itself. Now a fugitive in his ruined kingdom, he can rewind wounds, shrink enemies to dust, and bend moments to his will—but every stolen second scars his body and devours his soul.
His vengeance is absolute. His enemies are legion. Yet the deeper Kael hunts, the more he unravels:
The brother who lit his pyre is blood-bound to a cult older than time.
The fiancée who betrayed him sacrificed her love to save a sister who was already dead.
And the mentor who raised him? A time-warped monster who calls Kael’s agony “a masterpiece.”
But when Kael discovers a girl with his lost lover’s face—a living weapon forged by his enemies—he faces an impossible choice: destroy her to erase his past… or let her live and risk a future where love becomes his final weakness.
In a world where every heartbeat is a currency and every lie is etched in flames, Kael must decide if he’ll crown himself king of the ashes—or burn time itself to save the one soul he couldn’t steal.
