MonarchA Prince Out of Time
To save the kingdom, he'll have to stop his own murder...
It’s hard to be a drunken idiot when the world keeps burning down around you. Cairn, the charming-yet-utterly-irresponsible heir to the Uskarrion throne, is all too happy to toss the crown aside. But an invasion, conspiracy, and rise of a terrifying villain result in his untimely death.
Then, Cairn reawakens. It's a decade earlier and he's in his childhood body. But he remembers everything...
There's much to accomplish. First, however, he'd really love to stop himself from dying.

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.
