James is running from a traitorous uncle and the throne. Thalia is running from a life of nothing but pain. Alexandria is running from a destiny she did not know. Logan is barely keeping their boat afloat. Born into a continental war none of them believe in fighting anymore, each one finds themselves thrust into the middle of ending it. Magic surrounds them everywhere they move to, and evil trails just behind. Their fates are plated together like scales on a dragon long before they ever came to fruition. The games they played as children suddenly have much higher stakes. It was a single choice that brought this defective group together. Now, a single choice can change the fate of the world. This is my first draft of my 2021 NaNoWriMo novel! If there are mistakes, please point them out so I can change them. Kind critiques are welcome as well. Rated mature for some bloodshed, fighting, and language, though is more prominent in later chapters.
