Monarch of Ruin follows Aether Velius, a prince of the kingdom of Velheim, who finds himself inexplicably sent five years back in time after witnessing the destruction of his world at the hands of a powerful empire. With the apocalypse looming, Aether must rewrite history, using his knowledge of the future to stop the events that led to his kingdom's fall. As he navigates the dangerous political and military landscape of his past, Aether faces betrayals, alliances, and the constant challenge of maintaining control over his ever-growing power.
In a world where enemies move in the shadows and allegiances are fragile, Aether must gather those he once knew, including the fierce warrior Selene Altharia, to forge a path toward survival. But as he grows stronger and more unpredictable, his relationships, particularly with Selene, become complicated. The lines between friend and foe blur, and Aether’s struggle to reshape his fate threatens to cost him everything—including the chance for love.
With each decision, Aether draws closer to a destiny shaped by his own choices, and yet, the weight of what is to come grows heavier. The Sovereigns, who once crushed his world, are closer than ever, and Aether’s power may be the only thing that stands between them and the ruin of everything he holds dear.
