I Refuse to Be a Son-in-Law

Cloud Sage found homeless Mayson Lane years ago and raised him on Mount Kalun. Thirteen years later Mayson’s martial arts reach the half-heavenly realm, and Cloud Sage lets him leave the mountain. The shock: Mayson is already betrothed to a Lynch family daughter in Havertry, a match arranged while he was a ward. Mayson swore he would never become anyone’s live-in son-in-law. Now he must step into the city, cancel an engagement that binds him to influence and obligation, and protect his hard-won independence. Torn between gratitude to his master and the humiliation of dependency, Mayson faces a single choice - break the promise or accept a fate he refuses. The decision will test honor, pride, and the cost of freedom.
