What if paradise found is just the beginning of the battle? In *Banished Hero: I just want to live in peace on a deserted island*, Jax Cole envisions a tranquil escape, only to find himself shipwrecked and clinging to life on a remote shore. He's a fugitive from his own kingdom, a hero turned pariah after assassinating the Demon King. Now, he seeks only oblivion. His solitude is shattered by Manaia, the captivating leader of the White-tailed Deer Tribe, a secluded community untouched by the corruption of the outside world. But their peaceful existence is about to be brutally disrupted. A ravenous horde of orcs and goblins descends upon their island, threatening to destroy everything they hold dear. Though weakened and weary, Jax can't ignore the call to protect the innocent. Unleashing a mere fraction of his devastating power, he defends the tribe with effortless skill, revealing glimpses of the lethal assassin he once was. As Manaia tends to his wounds, a profound connection blossoms between them, a magnetic pull that transcends their vastly different backgrounds. Their growing intimacy offers Jax a chance at redemption, a path toward healing both his body and his fractured soul. But can he truly outrun his past, or will the shadows of his former life forever taint this newfound paradise? The island's secrets are deep, and Jax is about to discover that peace comes at a price.
