“...leaving no doubt he was the Chosen One. Chosen for what precisely, no one bothered to ask.”

― Sons of Darkness
“What made Taein the Unkillable Kid was more than surviving the war that tore his realm apart and the hunt for his life that followed. It was more than almost starving to death in the wilds, it was more than the addictions that still hungered for his life. More than his time in the Blackblades, more than evading the Garrison, more than all the thrashings and scraps and botched brawls he’d ever gotten himself into. What made Taein the Unkillable Kid was the truth—that he literally could not die.
And Taein knew that for a fact, because he had tried to die more times than he could count. ”
