A forgotten past. A forbidden power. A future rewritten in blood and desire.

On the day Cairne Obstik should have discovered his destiny, he was already drowning in shame. Living in a small town with four enigmatic older women as his landlords, Cairne expects nothing more from life than awkward embarrassment and mundane survival. But everything changes on his 21st birthday when he drinks from the Chalice of the Forgotten—and is reborn as something rare, dangerous, and deeply coveted:

A Warlock.

Not just any Affinity, but a forbidden one, with mysterious powers that can manipulate the world around him and expedite his path to power tenfold. And with this Affinity comes truth: the people in his life might be powerful beings with secrets of their own. Together, they reveal to Cairne a world of clandestine orders, warring factions, and an ancient war between Warlocks and the deadly Templar sect sworn to destroy them.

Cairne must now train to wield magic, master forbidden skills, and confront a destiny that demands not only strength—but surrender. For the survival of the Warlock and Witch lines depends on him breeding with the Witches, and unlocking new strength and darker revelations. But desire is a double-edged spell, and every intimate bond brings him closer to power—and peril.

Torn between lust and legacy, hunted by enemies in gleaming armor, and haunted by visions of an apocalyptic battle, Cairne must decide who he truly is: a tool of prophecy or a master of his own fate.

Steamy, brutal, and brimming with magic, The Lone Warlock is a mature LitRPG fantasy about hidden power, chosen family, and the cost of becoming legendary.
