The Investiture Legend

Cast out and left for dead, an exiled outcast awakens in a mystical realm with a divine artifact capable of commanding gods. Crushing his former masters, he flees to an empire on the brink of ruin. Appointed as the grand advisor, he builds an invincible army, wiping out ruthless pirates and exposing treacherous court conspirators. But as hostile imperial legions march and a cunning demon queen plots in the shadows, can he master his godly powers before the entire realm falls?
