The Holy Joy King

Ten years ago, an evil scheme destroyed all eighteen members of the Hoffman family. Noah Hoffman fell from a cliff and was presumed dead. A reclusive grandmaster pulled him back from the brink and forged him in secret, teaching him the techniques and cold discipline he lacked. He joined the North army from its lowest ranks and clawed his way up, becoming a legendary battlefield conqueror through ruthlessness and skill. Now, under the assumed name Liam Holland, he returns to the city for payback. Haunted by loss and sharpened by training, Noah hides beneath a calm mask while old wounds and hidden enemies reopen. Each reunion is a trap. His mission tests whether vengeance will consume him—or expose the conspiracy that ruined his family.
