In a land where might rules and magic chooses bloodlines, a nameless boy rises from the lowest ash heap of humanity. Kael has no powers, no allies, and no past worth remembering. Mocked, beaten, and abandoned, he survives only by grit and pain. Unknown to him, a mysterious force lies dormant within - a power not awakened by destiny, but by cruelty. A power that burns brighter with every wound, and waits patiently for agony deep enough to unshackle it. This is the tale of a hero born not of prophecy, but of suffering. And when he finally awakens, the world will remember his name - or burn beneath it.
