In the ancient halls of House Dravenir, where a legendary white dragon serves as both guardian and judge, the youngest son is branded weak and unwanted. Vlad always lived in the shadow of his powerful siblings—scorned by his cold father, bullied by his brother, and pitied by everyone else. But when a brutal ambush awakens the long-dormant spirit companion of the First Patriarch within him, Vlad gains access to forbidden techniques that could reshape kingdoms… or destroy him from the inside. To survive, Vlad must master a power older than his bloodline, protect the sister who believes in him, and decide whether he will rise above his family’s legacy… or burn it all down.
