Returner's Defiance 2

Bran is about to face the Hero’s Clan initiation, ready to unlock the legendary bloodline he’s always craved. But nothing goes according to plan. Instead of a smooth ascent to power, Bran is forced into the spotlight when one catastrophe leads to another, threatening the lives of every new recruit. Hiding was never his strong suit, but now it’s impossible. To save his clanmates, Bran steps out of the shadows—only to uncover a long-forgotten branch of the Hero’s Clan, one that was erased from history in his past timeline. With secrets unraveling and danger mounting, Bran knows the future of the clan rests on his shoulders. But to protect them, he may have to take off the mask and seize control of a destiny that’s been waiting for him all along.
