Oakthorn [a Lighthearted Cultivation Comedy]
Divine powers? ? City-leveling magic? ? A heist crew with the collective impulse control of a caffeinated squirrel? ...Oh boy.Meet Cade Stormhollow, master thief and current holder of the "Most Spectacular Heist Fail in History" award. He was this close to pulling off the perfect score when everything went sideways. Now he's got apocalyptic powers trying to burst out of his body like the world's worst case of magical indigestion, and a pantheon of gods who are, quite frankly, being real drama queens about the whole thing.With his crew’s lives on the line, Cade makes a deal: win a deadly tournament to replace what he stole. It's possibly the first honest plan he's ever had, which makes everyone deeply suspicious. But when you've accidentally stolen powers that could reshape continents, sometimes the best con is convincing everyone you're actually playing fair. He’s not, of course, but no one needs to know that.The gods expect a bumbling mortal they can easily crush. What they're getting is a master thief who's spent his entire career making "absolutely impossible" look like child's play. Embrace the chaos! (No, seriously, it's going to happen whether you want it to or not.)Oakthorn is what happens when you take epic fantasy, add a heaping helping of intense heists, throw in some devastating magical powers, and let it all be handled by people whose solution to every problem is “punchy, punchy.” Come for the progression fantasy & stay for the found family of misfits who face down apocalyptic odds with wit, loyalty, and a dash of calculated recklessness. In a world where magic meets mayhem, they'll risk everything to protect their own, even if their methods end up in a magnificent disaster. You’ll definitely want to be there when this particular brand of utter chaos hits the fan.
