Broken Universe

From bestselling author D.K. Landtroop

What if the Isekai’d hero came back—with secrets, debts, and all his power stripped away?

Kyle Sangster ruled a magical realm as its near-divine emperor, forged in battles against the nine armies of hell and bound by pacts with gods who summoned him. After a decade of epic adventures, he found a way home to the parents and friends he loves. But he wakes in his 17-year-old body, fresh from a year-long coma, in a hometown far too curious about him.

High school. Worried parents. Zero magic. Once a world-ruler, now a regular teen—his legendary skills now mere fragments. His old foes led demon legions; here, they run banks and score touchdowns. His parents, crushed by debt from his care, need him now more than ever. Yet his return may be unraveling reality, awakening magic in his friends and stirring forces only he can see.

With shadowy threats closing in, Kyle must rebuild his strength, outsmart cunning enemies, and protect his family while guiding a world on the brink of transformation.

Witty, raw, and fiercely original, Broken Universe flips portal fantasy on its head—where a hero’s choice to return may have broken reality.
