Book One in the World of Liv
In a world shaped by divine law, living wishes, and silent gods, Hari Mikamo is an anomaly a man with no ambition, no allegiance, and no desire for power. At 28, he’s just trying to keep his daughter safe in the slums of the central region of Liv, Virelia, where the strong exploit the weak and even survival comes at a cost.
But when a city riot pulls Hari into the public eye, his rare strength and unshakable will draws the attention of Queen Sophia Doyle, one of the most feared leaders in Liv. Against his instincts and a proposal he couldn’t deny, Hari is forced into an elite academy where enforcers of divine law are trained killers, mages, and zealots molded to keep Liv in order by any means.
Among strangers and enemies, Hari forms an uneasy bond with two unlikely allies:
Amari Abara, a brilliant spellcaster hiding more pain than power
Andre Cruz, a Sika boy mocked for his race and delusions of grandeur, carrying a sword tied to legends no one believes
Together, they are swept into a world of ancient spells, cursed bloodlines, and the cruel magic of Nous a force that grants miracles at the price of taboo.
But in Liv, every wish forms a taboo. And Hari, the man with no wish, may need to discover one in order to protect his daughter.
Because some men don’t rise to change the world.
Some are dragged into it clawing, bleeding, and bound by love.
