Threads of Fire and Starlight: Book 2 (Ebook)

Everyone wants to own Zane Myles. He has other plans.

At twenty, Zane is the most talked-about adventurer alive... and the most lied about. The world sees inflated stats, a healer who punches above his class, and a rising star worth sponsoring. What the world doesn't see is the truth he's spent his life hiding: three cores instead of one, a System that shouldn't exist, and an AI named Eva who calls him husband and answers questions no interface should be able to answer.

Then a routine dive into the Glasswood Basin goes catastrophically wrong. A dungeon boss mutates into something the System has no name for. Zane does the impossible to put it down, on camera, in front of the entire continent, and overnight he stops being a promising rookie and becomes a problem. A weapon three nations want to claim. An asset to be sponsored, married off, regulated, or conscripted. A prize.

A princess with starlight wings says she sees a man, not an asset. A duchess's heir says he's a destabilizing factor. A queen who has ruled longer than he's been alive says he's a tool to be used. And his godmother, an SSS-class Firemaster and blood-sister to a hostile crown, drags him to a kingdom that despises men, where a royal banquet, a vengeful prince, and a war the world is quietly losing are all waiting for him to arrive.

Zane only ever wanted to keep his sick little brother and his fierce little sister safe. But the people hunting his family don't care what he wanted. And the force that murdered his parents five years ago was only ever running its first experiment.

Power has a cost. Refusing to be owned has a higher one.

Threads of Fire and Starlight continues in a progression-fantasy LitRPG packed with System mechanics, dungeon dives, sharp political maneuvering, hard-earned escalation, and a hero who refuses to be anyone's weapon, even when being one would be easier.

Perfect for fans of System-driven progression fantasy, sword-and-magic LitRPG, slow-burn power growth, and stories where every win costs something.
