The Bastard of Swordborne

In a realm where power determines destiny, Theo Ragnar stands apart as the 31st son of the Grand Duke—born without the mystical abilities that define his noble bloodline. Marked as an outsider in a family where strength is everything, he has spent his life in the shadows of his gifted siblings. But when fate intervenes with an unexpected turn, Theo finds himself awakening to extraordinary powers that surpass even the legendary Ragnar Gift itself. Now armed with abilities beyond imagination, he must navigate the treacherous world of noble politics and ancient rivalries, where every alliance could be a trap and every smile hides a blade. In a family where betrayal runs as deep as blood, Theo must forge his own path to prove that destiny isn't always written at birth.
