Rising from the ashes with a new world to explore. Make no mistake, the monster’s still inside.
Liam is a 700-year-old wolf shifter on a downward spiral, mourning the loss of his true mate. Through a selfless act resulting in his death, he is bound by blood magic that unleashes monsters with an appetite for destruction. Given a second chance at redemption by poker-loving gods, he is reincarnated into another world. Some deities recognize the monster lurking inside him might be their only hope for salvation.
In the body of Lem, his blazing wolf shifter days are dead and buried, weakening him to a shadow of his former strength. He soon realizes that he cannot fight enemies alone, though karmic gods prefer it that way.
Under the high expectations of Heartstone Academy instructors, he must retain his scholarship and learn the ways of a cultivation world.
They say the flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
Turns out dying was only the beginning. Stripped of hope, he claws his way back from oblivion, lit by an inferno to protect those he loves from sinister forces. Can an immortal bond spanning two worlds quench destiny’s desire for his bloodforged ascension?
