He walked away from the war to be a father. The war didn't care.
Clarence "Knuckle" Jackson is a retired Demon Hunter — legendary, feared, and deliberately buried in a quiet life with his wife and six sons. Then the angels come for his family, and in one devastating night he loses everything: his wife, his children, his home, and five years of his life to a dimensional prison designed to break him.
When he finally escapes, the world has moved on. His best friend has become his enemy. His wife is hiding a truth that will shatter everything he thought he knew. And a Time God named Asmodeus is pulling strings from outside reality — studying Knuckle like a specimen. Not to destroy him. To understand what he is.
The answer will cost him his soul.
The Righteous Lie is the first entry in the Knuckle's Legacy saga — a meta-progressive urban epic fantasy where power is earned through sacrifice, betrayal is the sharpest weapon, and the most dangerous man in the universe is a father with nothing left to lose.
Read for: Fathers who would burn the world for their children · Power systems that cost pieces of your soul · Psychological battles as brutal as physical ones · Betrayal that redefines the entire story · Series you can't stop once you start
Perfect for fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files and Evan Winter's The Rage of Dragons.
