Crown Prince Ronan has grown up in the shadow of a dragon-bound hero — his father, the man who saved a kingdom. But greatness isn't inherited. It must be earned. When Ronan is denied the sacred honor of bonding with a dragon — a mark that once crowned his father a prophet — he defies that judgment. He steals a dragon's egg and flees across the sea, chasing his own legend and forsaking the legacy he was born into. Alone and untested, Ronan must survive a world that no longer bows to his bloodline. But destiny doesn't favor the bold — it favors the worthy.

Salvation comes not from perfection, but from the courage to face the truth, and the fire to rise from the ashes. In a realm scarred by generations of war and bitter feuds, hope is all but extinguished. The land’s last sanctuary has fallen, and five priests, each burdened by regret, shame, and longing, are forced into exile. They are not warriors. They are not kings. They are flawed men of faith, called to heal a world their ancestors helped divide.

Ciran did it. He survived his torture, and stood up against the empire's cruelty. He is now again free to resume the search for his family. He has returned to his old stomping ground, the walled stone city of Dunmaer.
