Ethan Carter was a failed fantasy author who died overworked and bitter. When he wakes up in the world of his own unfinished novel, he finds himself reborn as Darius Wycliffe, a weak and arrogant noble fated to be killed by the protagonist, Lucien Ashford, the Archmage’s Disciple.

But Ethan refuses to die so easily. Armed with his knowledge of the world’s secrets and a unique ability to rewrite spells, he dives into the forbidden magic he once created but never fully explored. As he grows stronger, he uncovers terrifying truths about the world he thought he knew.

To survive, Ethan must defy destiny, master the deadliest of magics, and challenge the very hero he once wrote to be unbeatable. But what happens when the lines between hero and villain start to blur?

Darius walked alongside Aiden and Kai, their footsteps echoing through the Arcanium's quiet halls. The usual buzz of students felt far away, swallowed by the heavy air of the choices they faced. The letters on Darius's bedside table—offers from the Star Visionary and the mysterious Storm Visionary—burned in his mind, each one a weight pulling him toward an uncertain future. Aiden and Kai carried their own offers, life-altering invitations from mages of legend, and the silence between them was thick with unspoken questions. Darius's chest tightened, his bruises from last night's match throbbing faintly, a reminder of how close he'd come to the death he'd written for himself as Ethan Carter, the author of Eidolon: The Sovereign's Path.
