Betrayed. Exiled. Reborn. Prince Aethel was cast out by the Solarian Empire, left to rot in the monster-infested Shadow Marches. But the soul that woke up in his body isn't a scared noble. It's Astrea Vance—a man forged in the violence of a different world, driven by a dying oath of vengeance. Trapped in a cursed land where the sun never shines, Astrea awakens the Sovereign's Shadow System. [System Directive: Survive?] [Error. New Directive: DOMINATE.] To reclaim his life, Astrea must master the forbidden powers of the Void, hunt down the ancient Sovereign Anchors, and raise a terrifying army from the very monsters meant to kill him. The Empire believes they disposed of a weakling. The Church believes the shadows will consume him. They are wrong. In the darkness of the cursed forest, a new Kingdom is rising. One built on bones, powered by forbidden magic, and ruled by a man who knows no mercy. The Empire banished a Prince, but they have awakened a Tyrant destined for a Throne of Shadows.
