Blade of the Betrayed

Chase York is the eldest disciple of the Skyblade Order, born with a rare innate blade vessel. He rose through the eight realms of the Blade Path and forged a formidable blade soul. But trust shatters when his father, sister and younger brother Hunter York betray him, accusing Chase of theft while Hunter is the true thief. Framed and stripped of defenses, Chase is executed, abandoned by blood. Reborn into the same world, he wakes with memory, blade insight, and a cold vow: never to be a pawn again. Now he must move in shadows, exposing lies and reclaiming his name without repeating the mistakes that led to his death. Each step tightens the noose of truth and danger, forcing choices between justice, survival, and the cost of vengeance.
