He was the world’s richest man. Now, he’s a servant with zero talent. But in a world of immortals, hard work beats destiny—especially when you can see the Progress Bar. Kael had it all: islands, armies, and a fortune that could buy nations. Then he died and woke up in the brutal Star River Sect.

In this dog-eat-dog cultivation world, that’s a death sentence. He is destined to be cannon fodder, or worse, a lab rat for the sect’s ...

You know that sick feeling in your stomach when you watch other girls get actual affection from their dads? When you realize you've been emotionally starving your entire life and thought it was normal? When you understand that ‘provider’ and ‘parent’ aren’t the same thing—not even close? Yeah. That feeling. Maybe you learned early that your feelings were inconvenient. That needing comfort made you "difficult." That love had to be earned ...

God waits to bless us in a way beyond what we expect. From the beginning, ear has not heard, neither has the eye seen, what God has prepared for those who wait for him (Isaiah 64:4).

American women—American wives—have been mostly minor characters in the literature of the Vietnam War, but in Absolution they take center stage.

In Saigon in 1963, the two women form a wary alliance as they balance the era’s mandate to be “helpmeets” to their ambitious husbands with their own, inchoate impulse to “do good” for the people of Vietnam.
