Action

They called his ability trash.
    In a noble house built on swords and war, Lucien Valehart awakened nothing but tarot cards. No flames. No steel. No battlefield aura. Only vague omens that made nobles laugh and his family lower their eyes.
    Years later, Lucien returns home in chains, branded a deserter, a coward, and a traitor. His house has fallen, his name has been ruined, and a noose waits for him beneath stolen banners.
    At the edge of death, his worthless cards finally answer.
    The Hanged Man.
    Death.
    Fate.
    Three black cards. Three impossible omens.
    And for the first time, Lucien realizes the truth. His ability was never weak.
    It was waiting for the right moment to begin.
