8 Years Old, Stronger Than Death

The world is overrun by spirits. The Wraith King Draven Burke, betrayed and killed, leaves only a fragment of his soul. Ten years later that shard wakes inside eight-year-old Rodley Graham, the overlooked younger brother of his former love, Sadie Graham. Everyone treats him as useless; his own family presses him down. In a child's body he carries a king's past—anger, memory, and a ruined throne. He must survive domestic cruelty, fend off enemies drawn by the spirit war, and shield Sadie while slowly reclaiming lost power. Each small victory risks exposure and retaliation. The clash between a slain king's will and a child's vulnerability sparks fierce, unexpected confrontations. Can a reborn fragment forge a path back to power and protect the woman he once loved?
