Arleen's Trash

Arin von Arlyne died on the gallows.

His family's estate burned behind him. His father crucified on the city wall. His youngest brother calling for help behind a partition, unanswered. And Arin—the spare heir, the family's weak point, the mad dog who'd made it all so easy—laughing because there was nothing else left to do.

Then he woke up.

Five years earlier. In his fifteen-year-old body. With every memory of the disaster still burning behind his eyes.

Now Arin has one goal: become strong enough to stop the execution before it happens. Not for glory. Not for his father's approval. Because when the trap closes this time, he won't be the crack in the wall.

He'll be the damn wall itself.

But changing the future means changing himself first. And the reputation he's spent years building—the cruelty, the drinking, the casual violence—doesn't disappear because he's decided to be better. Everyone still sees the monster he was.

Including the people he's trying to save.
