The Only One Who Remembers the End

In a modern world where some humans awaken powers inherited from the past, Aren Tallcrag has never been more than a spectator. Weak, talentless, and unable to protect those he loves, he watches helplessly as humanity collapses during a cataclysmic event. But at the moment everything vanishes… Aren opens his eyes to find himself eleven years in the past. Back in his teenage body, he discovers he now possesses an unknown ability—a power no one else seems to comprehend. With the memories of a destroyed future and the rage of a man who has lost everything, Aren sets three simple objectives: Save his family, survive the world of Ascendants, and become strong enough to prevent the catastrophe that will annihilate the Earth. But in a world where ambition draws power... where heroes fall like any other... and where every Gate could be the last... Aren must move in the shadows, never revealing what he knows. For his second chance is no miracle. It is a warning.
