The Divided Guardian

SOA96
Novaria's criminals call him the Angel of Death. The truth is far more terrifying. Angelo Ashworth never walks alone. Red—chaos taking human form—and Blue—cold logic given flesh—share his fractured existence. Three bodies, three minds, one divided soul—An impossible condition that shatters their power, leaving each fragment fighting with only scraps of their true potential. As Novaria's deadliest enforcer, Angelo walks a razor's edge between justice and bloodshed. Red craves the violence. Blue calculates the odds. And Angelo? He's losing control. When a forgotten case pulls Angelo into the shadows of his own past, an unsettling truth emerges—his divided nature never meant to exist. Someone is responsible for it. Someone who will kill to keep their secrets. Now the divided Guardian must confront the darkness within each of his fractured selves before it consumes them all, even as hidden forces close in. Because the most haunting question isn't who divided the Guardian—it's whether the pieces were ever meant to fit together at all. What to Expect: + Slow burn + Anime-inspired (cinematic fight scenes) + Unique MC(s) + Weak to Strong MC + Character-driven + Moral complexity + Rich worldbuilding + Bigger stakes every volume Alright, real talk - this isn’t the kind of story that throws nonstop action at you just to look cool. I like to let things build. Give characters room to breathe, let the tension simmer before it explodes. So yeah, the pacing starts off measured at the start of each volume. But when things pop off? They really pop off. And each volume raises the bar higher than the last. No filler here. Every scene moves something forward - the plot, the characters, the world. Even the quiet moments matter. And here’s a little heads-up: details that seem small or random? Might not be. Sometimes a single line, even a single word, carries weight you won’t see until much later. So settle in and enjoy the calm while it lasts. Because in Angelo’s world? Peace is just the silence before the storm.

Scions of the Cruel King

In Scions of the Cruel King, the Targaryen family drama is in full swing. After Aegon’s death, Aenys took the throne, but things quickly went south. Aenys wasn’t exactly a strong leader, and it didn’t take long before the Faith rose up against him. That’s when Maegor stepped in—furious and out for blood after the murder of Eleana. He crushed the rebellion with an iron fist. When Aenys died under some pretty shady circumstances, Maegor took over as king. But even though he was ruthless, the Faith remained a thorn in his side right up until his own brutal end in 48 A.L. Now, the story kicks off in 56 A.L., and the Targaryens are still in hot water. Jaehaerys, Aenys’s son, is holding down the fort as regent for his young cousin Vaegyl, Maegor’s son. The realm is a mess, full of uprisings and political scheming. Jaehaerys and his allies, like Gerold Westerling, are doing their best to keep the peace, but they don’t realize that Westerling and Ser Tybolt Lannister have their own plans. They’re secretly plotting to put Westerling’s grandson, Aegon, on the throne. As Vaegyl gets closer to coming of age, things start heating up. Old loyalties are questioned, hidden secrets come to light, and the shadow of Maegor’s brutal reign still hangs over everything. The fight for the Iron Throne is just beginning, and it’s going to get messy. If you’re into stories packed with power struggles, betrayals, and the Targaryens fighting for control of the Seven Kingdoms, Scions of the Cruel King is right up your alley.
