Born in fire. Forged by war. Bound by truth.

Aeric was trained to obey. Raised as an orphan under the Ironbrand regime, he was molded into a soldier—disciplined, loyal, and silent. But when a violent rebellion brings the king’s deepest lies to light, Aeric begins to question the purpose of everything he’s fought for.

Driven by a symbol from his childhood and the vague memories of a father he never truly knew, Aeric deserts the army and joins a hidden resistance. Beyond the walls of the capital, he discovers a fractured world—villages drained by greed, people starved by tyranny, and whispers of dragons that once ruled the skies.

Ancient secrets begin to surface. Forgotten flames stir in the shadows. And beneath it all lies a force more dangerous than any sword or fire-breathing beast.

Aeric must choose between the blade he’s mastered and the truth he was never meant to find.
