Tellyon Red by Connor Lucas

Forced to rule upon the ghosts of his family and abandoned by both Creator and country, King Silas Antoni believed he was meant to be no more than crumpled pages lost to history. But when his life is taken into the hands of his past, he must race to resurrect the tradition of their Creator and save their planet -- hollowed by a people ignorant to the illness festering beneath their invention -- risking death and rebirth into a life with no purpose and no end.
