Monarch IIForgotten Sanctum
Cairn has finally gained access to the Sanctum…
… the birthplace of the infernal’s mystic abilities and proving ground for their adolescents, a place filled to the brim with magic and mystery.
The power he needs to solidify a major alliance is close at hand. All he needs to do is settle in, hone his skill, and prove himself with the help of old friends and new.
Simple enough. Or it would be, if Cairn wasn’t the only outsider to breach the Sanctum. When he arrives, he discovers an old enemy has sealed the Sanctum from the inside, jeopardizing it and holding it ransom.
Her demands are simple: “Bring me the head of the usurper.”

J. McCoy
J. McCoy, who also writes under the name Eligos, crafts stories where logic, emotion, and consequence intertwine. Known for the RE: Monarch and Double-Blind series, McCoy’s fiction lives at the intersection of speculative fantasy and LitRPG, creating worlds that feel alive because their rules matter and every decision changes the outcome.
McCoy’s path to writing began much like their stories, through curiosity, systems, and a fascination with “what if.” Long before publishing A Prince Out of Time, the first book in the RE: Monarch series, McCoy built imaginary worlds inside online games and text-based adventures, experimenting with how structure shapes storytelling. That early love of player-driven narratives grew into full novels where strategy meets emotion and power always carries a cost.
RE: Monarch
Power can rebuild or destroy, and in RE: Monarch it does both. This dark progression fantasy follows a man who dies a king and awakens as his younger self, forced to relive a past that has already burned his world to ash. With knowledge of the wars, betrayals, and blood that once ended his reign, he must now rebuild from nothing, one calculated choice at a time.
RE: Monarch consists of three books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
