Sixteen-year-old Julius Johnson Jr., son of a disgraced knight, enters the Knight Academy to restore his family's honor. While other trainees harness powerful Virtues-magic tied to fire, lightning, and wind-Julius struggles with a mysterious, untapped force tied to Volunder, the last Dragon God, who was murdered by the Celestial angels known as the Chosen. The Chosen now rule Dawn in secret, posing as gods and controlling the kingdom from the shadows. As Julius trains, an ancient Draconic power within him begins to stir, threatening to consume him if he cannot master it. But his growing strength also makes him a target of the powerful forces conspiring against the kingdom. At the Academy, Julius is surrounded by a diverse group of allies and rivals: Edward Leona, the Crown Prince, wields the lightning-based Virtue of Justice but is torn between his duty to the throne and his personal desires. Shane Leona, Edward's younger brother, leads a double life as the streetwise rogue Sean. His wind-based Virtue of Generosity allows him to navigate the streets of Leo City while becoming entangled in its darkest secrets. Aria Chase, infused with Giant's blood, commands earth and stone but struggles under the weight of her father's expectations and her need to prove her worth. Cordelia Silverly, betrothed to Edward, hides her true motives as she becomes a critical player in the growing conspiracy, using her icy control to manipulate those around her. As Julius and his friends uncover a dark plot involving the Chosen and an assassination threat, they must band together to protect the kingdom from forces that have controlled it for centuries. The truth behind Julius's heritage and the power of the Dragon God will shape his destiny and determine the fate of Dawn itself. In a world where Virtue defines strength, Knight's Code is a tale of magic, honor, and the battle against unseen enemies.
