The Towers of the Sunset by L.E. Modesitt Jr.

3.0

A depressed silver-haired waif of a man travels the world to escape his mommy issues and go on a hero’s journey, accidentally establishing an (authoritarian?) oligarchy in the process. Angry old homophobic wizards pray night and day for his downfall, which only makes him more powerful, sadly indirectly resulting in his twink death.
