An unforgettable epic fantasy where an infamous wizard returns from the dead in another man’s body and must choose between fulfilling a deadly destiny or embracing the second chance at life, love, and redemption he never expected.
Description
History remembers Lucianus as a monster.
He remembers something far more complicated.
Once feared as one of the greatest battle wizards the world had ever known, Lucianus was executed for crimes that made him a legend of terror. His story should have ended there.
Instead, he wakes in someone else’s body.
Dragged back from death by powerful magic, Lucianus finds himself centuries removed from the world he once ruled. Confused, displaced, and hunted by questions he cannot answer, he crosses paths with Auran, a wary knife-fighter whose instinct is to distrust the mysterious stranger who has appeared out of nowhere.
Against his better judgment, Auran agrees to help.
Together they journey across lands transformed by time, uncovering forgotten histories and dangerous truths while searching for the reason behind Lucianus’s impossible resurrection. The answer is more terrifying than either expected.
Someone has brought Lucianus back for one purpose.
Murder.
The spell sustaining his borrowed life is tied to a single task. Once the assassination is complete, the magic will end and Lucianus will die once again. Yet after tasting freedom, friendship, and the possibility of something more with Auran, death is no longer a fate he is willing to accept.
As old enemies awaken, ancient conspiracies resurface, and the legacy of the Red Wizard threatens to consume the present, Lucianus must decide whether he is forever bound by the violence of his past or capable of becoming someone entirely different.
Richly imagined and emotionally compelling, Lucianus combines sweeping epic fantasy, intricate world-building, political intrigue, and slow-burning MM romance into an unforgettable tale of redemption, destiny, and second chances. C.J. Beshara crafts a story where legends are questioned, heroes and villains blur together, and even the dead may discover that life is worth fighting for.
Perfect for readers who enjoy epic fantasy with LGBTQ+ protagonists, morally complex heroes, magical adventure, and character-driven romance.
