Essence Infusion: Rise of the Fire Veteran

gdbloxor
Power is a flame. Forge it, wield it, or let it burn you alive. Rodrigo Mundragon was a soldier, tempered by war’s unrelenting crucible, till a bullet stole his world and cast him into another. In this new world, he awakens to a gift: Essence Infusion. With Essence surging through his machete, he can enhance its steel and set fire ablaze into it. Clutching his mother’s locket and shadowed by the comrades and friends he couldn’t save in his past life, Rodrigo stands in this world alone, and with the need of discovery. In a world where such Essence can easily bend nature and break souls, Rodrigo battles more than just animals and rebels. The true war comes from his own decisions, to see how the world could see him, and how he could see the world. Here, power isn’t just strength. It’s the price of staying whole.

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.
