The Bastard of Swordborne

Theo Ragnar, the thirty-first son of the formidable Grand Duke of Ragnar, entered the world without the fabled Ragnar Gift—a crippling deficiency in a house where strength alone determines worth. D믭 the "Ragnar Defect," he suffered betrayal alongside his mother, meeting a savage end at the hands of those they once trusted. Yet death proved to be merely the prologue. Resurrected at the age of seventeen, Theo awakens not only to the Ragnar Gift but to abilities that surpass all comprehension. Driven by retribution and the weight of a second life, he embarks on a path to seize the honor that was unjustly stolen from him.
